Tutorial: Handling new battery cells

[@JohnDickson-p1j]

Thanks so much for the teaching

[@brucebugbee6604]

You should also use insulated tools when working on your battery. I always wrap my tools with electrical tape so that only the working end of the tool is exposed. This has saved me a lot of trouble on several occasions.

[@awab4272]

This is a great idea! Thanks.

[@wideawaketotruth5301]

Well done Andy, well done.

[@KellyUnarivi]

Thank you so much, very clear and interesting, appreciate you. Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

[@AbubakariYahaya-l3d]

I'm in Ghana where everything is very costly, so we your aid to also improve with the little we have . Also no capital to teach the unemployed youth.

[@WilliamManu-cv7nc]

Thank you so much, I am watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

[@FELIXKULOVA]

Wow getting more knowledge thnks so much

[@courage883]

I love your teachings sir very interesting an inspiring...

[@Jakasheriff-c9r]

I'm watching you from Liberia,I want to learn to the best, thanks very much I enjoy you the best.

[@AnsumanaKmustapha]

Thank you very much for the teaching, I am watching live from Sierra Leone, tongo field

[@Boatingtube]

loving the videos and chasing you down with my 560AH Lifpo4 build on my channel 👍✔ keep them coming ❤

[@RichardRoy2]

One question I would ask is, should batteries be of the same type? I'm talking about voltage, amperage, capacity...etc.

[@Sylvan_dB]

Usually for my initial voltage check, I would just poke the probes thru the tape. Keep the terminals covered as much as possible for as long as possible.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

That's what I did. I now have little holes on top of the terminals which I need to sand down again before connecting the busbars.

[@QuentinCarter1975]

One other safety tip when working with things that go zappity zap zap is to remove rings and watches to remove chances of creating a contact.

[@Ucgswill]

Thanks so much for your impactations...

[@ericktrisha3178]

Keep up the good work 👏.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Thank you, I will!

[@robertthew7593]

I don’t recall any comments on the terminals. 1-any concerns with dis-similar materials 2-are you using bolts or have you considered studs for the bus bar / wiring connections. I have 8 - 280 ah batteries on the way from China. Just trying to be ready and considering the possibilities for my RV.

[@julietkansiime9002]

What type of batteries do u recomend for solar installation

[@rustyrodrigoangcoyjr.8904]

Nice tutorial bro

[@bluex48]

good info on your videos, I will be soon pushing a similar box as I bought 4x200ah aluminium case cells to make a 12v leisure battery for my landrover on which I have 360w solar panels :) and also a Daly bms 250A, exciting days ahead :D

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Sounds great! Let us know how you go with that. Will you use an inverter too or just the 12V system?

[@bluex48]

@@OffGridGarageAustralia have no need for a inverter so will just be a 12v setup. I'm using redarc 12v bcdc1240d charger and a victron bmv-712 to keep an eye on the system. Hopefully the Daly bms will come with temperature sensor as the manufacturer guarantees that the model they sent has one. I'll keep an eye on your channel to see how you'll get on with the big setup as you said batterys are getting cheaper so I may upgrade shed with some free power :)

[@CephasMusambakaruma]

Very very interesting 1:11

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Thank you.

[@dig1035]

Thumbs up and subscribed! Did batteries come with bus bars studs nuts bolts warranty?

[@nerdybirdy420]

I ❤ this guy haha thank u for the info,

[@Engineeringmaster-x7m]

Thank you

[@AbuBakarrBangura-ec4sf]

But Sir if you want to connect 2 250A battery's in series how many A chance control you can connect and inverter and how many W panels . Thank you sir

[@Gnagnie]

Nice Video Andy! Even the tip with handle these cells not without cellprotection/bms. stay save walter

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

If they are all in parallel, there is no other protection apart from a fuse or breaker.

[@M.Mchale]

Brilliant, thankyou

[@robsonmuteya3108]

Thanks

[@JN-ou9ws]

Hi, Andy wouldn't been a safer way to just replace the tape to the exposed terminal.

[@courage883]

How many solar panels-300watt/ should be used in charging 24volts battery /2.5kva inverter

[@knowledgekembo2371]

Where can l get the busbar

[@CephasMusambakaruma]

Wonderfully

[@googoostoned]

Super erklärt. Vielen Dank.

[@Jakasheriff-c9r]

Thanks so much

[@kmuralikrishna1582]

I just subscribed at 964. Going forward I need your help to use these batteries or any li-ion battery

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Thanks for your sub!

[@PitaAtung126]

I want to know the advantage of series of panel

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

There is no advantage. It depends on your system design and power needs.

[@henvan8737]

Which BMS are you intending to use with this battery pack.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

I've ordered a 200A (600A peak) BMS with BT. It's not a Daly. I found them a bit overpriced so trying something cheaper first and see how I go.

[@SergiowilfridoCastañeda]

👍💪

[@sonogenio]

Perfetto! 👍🏻

[@SergiowilfridoCastañeda]

gasias por mostrame

[@martinhilburger2971]

I think that the total capacity of your battery bank is determined by the weakest cell of this used Chinese electric bus batteries.

[@11evl1]

😂

[@zarbonida]

They are new cells. Usually, Chinese electric bus uses LTO cells (Yinlong)

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Martin is always trying to be funny 🤡

[@TheChristof2k]

i pay 4x 280 ah 404 EURO inkl ship

[@offgridwanabe]

Nice investment
