As someone who's lived offgrid for 20 years, having temp sensors on the terminals is a really good idea. Can't count how many times a bad connection at the battery caused problems that went unnoticed until it got bad enough that the glow at night alerted me. Battery teminals are a common place for bad connections.

[@WillProwse]

Absolutely. Do you know of any other batteries that have temp sensors on the terminals?

I respect that you still published the video even when you screwed up and let the smoke out; LOL! Part of the definition of craftsmanship is ownership....even when you have an "ugly baby!" This is why so many companies utilize you as a proxy "proof engineer," and why I trust you implicitly! Also, resistance produces heat. I had a professor who stated 99% of all electrical problems are due to "connections." Temperature surveillance at the main external connections, is a brilliant method monitoring basic maintenance!

Nice work, Will. Glad you're back

[@4philipp]

Love the excitement! The marine battery looks really nice. And at $1300 for a 24V 100ah, that is still a super competitive price (compared to 12V 100ah). For a marine battery though … that’s outrageously cheap. Can’t wait for the capacity test. It’s most likely going to pass . Looks like this company makes batteries for industrial and construction equipment and vehicles. That’s a hard environment. I’m not surprised about the consistent build quality.

[@Gold63Beast]

I was wondering why he kept saying it’s so high quality for being cheap at $1300!. But now I see that this niche marine batteries are expensive.

[@4philipp]

@@Gold63Beast yes, a comparable battery would cost $1800 - $2200. And for larger systems, they are custom build to fit.

[@gr0uch02a]

@@Gold63Beast They're really not. I have 2x100AH LiFePo4 batteries for my trolling motor. They cost $700. Don't need the On/Off switch at all. Can buy one for $25. Bluetooth? Why? Any monitor/shunt will tell you how much power you have left. I have gone on 6-7 hours for 2 days and not had to recharge my cheapos. Once, my outboard had issues and I had to troll 2.5 hrs back to my landing spot on the second day and still did not have any issues. 8 months and counting without a single problem. It's pretty though, so I guess there's that. $1300? Pfft.

[@gr0uch02a]

@@Gold63Beast The ONLY thing that makes "marine" batteries any different is how/if they are sealed. The internal chemistry is unchanged. Mfrs know that saying something is "marine grade" commands a premium for minimal effort so they take advantage of that. Suckers beware.

I bought an Epoch 36100H for my golf cart. Same packaging as RoyPow from the outside. I has a heater so I can charge below freezing. They advertize 100 Ah but in reality it is a 105Ah. nice to see them underestimate in their adveertizing instead of the other way. On /Off switch. Wifi enabled . Meter that alarms when you get low in power and a second alarm so you won't run out of power getting home. It can run up to 120 amps continuous and 200 for a very short time. it works for my 2002 EZGO TXT series cart with larger tires. Thanks Will for letting me see the quality of the next generation 36v golf cart battery.

[@mangomcpoo475]

Finally a brand you've done that exists here in Australia! (update it's only really the golfcart ones, and they are like $4k bummer)

[@SkypowerwithKarl]

Will, what would have been interesting is to have looked for heat on the outside of the case where the bms resides. That goo on the heat sinks may actually move the heat to the outside world instead of a trapped dead air space within at best heating the batteries. I don’t know if you have one, but I highly recommend the FLIR thermal cameras. I use a dongle for the iPhone and it works great.

It would be awesome if you could use your ingenuity & know how, to create some videos, where you teach us how to make 48V off-grid systems from a 48V Golf Car. Don’t forget to add some solar panels to your roof to plug into mix as power supply. This would be relevant for those of us that have beach property part-time, full-time, or live around golf courses. Love your show… even though I only understand 1/2 of what you saying 😆….

[@modernnomadtechnology9252]

It's really quite easy to build a 48v solar charger. All you need is a few solar panels in series and a 48v capable charge controller. Victron makes many charge controllers that go all the way from 12v to 48v. I use one. Right now I'm running 12v, but if my inverter ever burns up, I have enough LiFePo4 cells and the charge controller to switch to 48v.

[@andreasarncken8309]

Hi Will, as always, very nice review and it made me smile, that even you get a surprise every once in a while. Are there other LifePO4"Marine Batteries" on the market that you are aware of, besides Mastervolt, which are un-payable? I am considering to recommend a change from AGM battery banks on a boat of a friend of mine in the Caribbean and all these normally found soft metal (rusting) enclosures wouldn´t be recommendable due to corrosion...

[@firedog1116]

Excellent review and analysis! Thanks.

[@idahobassman3388]

Thanks for investigating this trolling motor battery. I am in the market to switch from AGM to LiFePO4 and your tear-down videos have been very informative. My only request is that you add Ingress Protection testing to your mix of tests. In a marine environment I would like to see if any water "gets in". Maybe, before you open it up, you could spray it with a water hose (IP65) or submerse in a bucket (IP67), then see if any water is inside when you open it up. What do you think about this suggestion? thanks again,

[@lancegrina1225]

Rubber on the heat sink fins and batteries is probably intended to sink the heat to the case. Try checking the thermal conductivity of the rubber or rubber foam. Air gapping heat sink fins inside of a sealed case is a recipe for disaster too. I suspect the material is working as heat sink compound.

[@dr.projectx5142]

One of these would be great for replacing my lead acide battery in my bolt. Also running my subwoofer amplifier.

[@michaelwalling8281]

Your un edited mistakes do wonderful things for my self esteem. Thankyou.

[@WoodmanFFM]

The rubber on the BMS heatsink in the cheap battery is probably still better at conducting heat to the outside that air would be, i.e. by filling the heatsink fins up with the rubber glue they likely achieve at least a certain amount of thermal coupling to the outside world. Of course, being a sealed system, it will always be difficult to get rid of the heat and a heatsind without fins that is directly glued to the outside surface of the battery casing would likely be the better alternative.

[@nibblesd.biscuits4270]

I believe moseworth made smaller lithium packs for the rc market. These 200ah are sold for trolling motors and are at a pretty low price point on Amazon. I appreciate your poking around the market for all of us trying to go off grid.

Please do a review of Enduro Power batteries. Thanks for all the great content.

It’s possible that the potting material is heat conductive to help with cooling:)

Great video Will. I would like to see the differences between RoyPow's 105 Ah for $650 and 100 Ah for $600 that was in this video.

[@tuberdave1]

Thank you for being so honest and detailed.

That's a nice battery.. I made my own for under 300$ 105ah no bms because I use a balance checker alarm. It's for my trolling motor

[@donnahodges7952]

Their website has so many misspelled words that I would not buy from them because I would question their quality. My first thought was it was a Chinese company and if the quality if their battery is the same as the quality of their website, it would not be worth buying. This review changed my mind.

I really like your battery breakdown videos, is there any chance you could break down a Victron battery?

[@timf6916]

Nice, Good tear down.

[@iceholepower8012]

RoyPow just sent me their 30Ah. It barely pulled capacity and I plan on tearing it down this weekend. Hoping that it looks as good as their 100Ah! I did teardown their 6Ah for fish finders. It was a mess, the cell holders were all gooey like they were melting.

[@fishhuntadventure]

Care to explain why they are gooey? Think why they made “worm proof boxes” with different makeup due to plasticizer incompatibility…

[@iceholepower8012]

@@fishhuntadventure When I opened it up, there was a strong chemical smell. I think the plastic (ABS maybe) cell holders were melting because of the presence of acetone in the adhesive. In the 3d printing world we call it vapor smoothing to get rid of the layer lines. I am speculating that was what was going on, but I could be wrong.

Hey Will. Quick question. What was that power supply you were using to charge the battery with 49a going into the battery? I could use one of those. Thanks! I like the smaller variable power supply also.

Great review, & I think it's time to add the final testing as you are getting heated batteries and not testing that function. Here is why. Some of these heated batteries cut off the output current when there isn't enough input current for the heaters, effectively leaving you with no power at all... Is that true of your now smoked 24v trolling battery?
