@altE Store - By the way Amy, I did a test today using my 4 used 6V 230Ah AGMs in a series parallel arrangement (so 12V 460Ah rated and 12V 230Ah usable). I simulated a full drain of one of those battle born batteries rated at 12V 100AH (so 1.2 KWh). I used a Kill-A-Watt meter to measure the power consumed and stopped at exactly at 1.2 KWh. The test took 1 hour 3 minutes with a load of about 1140 watts (a space heater on the lower setting). During the last part of the drain, the under load batteries showed 11.7V and then when I removed the load, they immediately went up to 12.3V and then a few seconds later went up to 12.4V. So I would say they were in a mid state of charge (SoC), no more than 50% DoD (Depth of Discharge), likely a little less like maybe 45% DoD (55% SoC). So my main points being that good used AGMs can easily outperform one 12V 100Ah Battle Born lithium battery for both price and performance (unless very light weight is needed like in a moving vehicle). The bank of 4 batteries can easily take 100A of charge power as that will be about 50A per 12V subbank (of 2 batteries). Since they are rated at 6V 230Ah each (so rated at 12V 230Ah per series pair) , that is only about 0.22 C charge rate for them. Very reasonable. I suspect they could take double that while in their bulk charge phase, possibly more if you were in a big hurry to charge them. Next time I might drain them to 1.28 KWh and record the results and make a KZbin video to show people that 6V AGMs are a great way to get cheap power. Then they can see how they still have plenty of power left after draining them the same as "flattening" a single 12.8V 100Ah Battle Born battery to 0%. I will also show charging them with the most powerful charger I have, which I think can do about 50A of charge power on a 24V bank (sucking more than 1500 watts out of the wall outlet). It should be fun. No editing either... just long pauses while the battery bank takes over an hour to drain down to about 50%.

If nothing changes with the solar into the charge controller, and the charge controller settings aren't changed, then you will have the same output.

What I would really like to see Sean do is make his own video where he would simulate using one of his 12A 100A LiFePO4 batteries in a real world situation by draining it once daily to a different SoC (State of Charge) to simulate both sunny and cloudy days, sometimes draining it to 100% DoD (Depth of Discharge) and other times shallower (like to 50% DoD) and many in between (such as 75% DoD). It would take 10 years just to get 3,652 cycles so how can they already be claiming 3000 to 5000 cycles unless they are cycling it many times in the same day which is likely not a realistic scenario for a customer. I would like to see the chart of expected cycles vs. DoD for that battery and also information on what happens if you drain it deeply and not recharge it for say more than 24 hours. I would also like data on slow charging (is that good or bad for it) and can this battery be left on a trickle charger (13.6V per 12V) and if so, what should be charge current settle down to minimum (10mA, 25mA...).

BMS's can fail and cause fire or take out your battery pack or even short out your electrical system. I rather have voltage meters to glace at the voltage and not worry about it also, the only real danger is charging in cold weather and having a way to keep these batteries from freezing is a must. Having the batteries in the RV the climate is never below 32f. The battery can handle freezing temps and you can pull power out of it however, charging it can and will damage it.

I think the Battleborn allows charging down to 25F so their BMS must slow the charging rate for them to do that safely. As far as I know they are the only brand that can do that. Relion brand battery now has a low temperature series battery with a built in warmer that automatically takes the charge input and puts it into the warmer first until the battery is heated to a safe charging temperature. Then the charge input begins to go into battery charging. I think that is the wave of the future.

You can build a prismatic cell battery much cheaper than the Battleborn. But you must understand the weak link in LiFePo4 batteries is the BMS. Battleborn must have supreme confidence in their BMS to offer a 10 year warranty. You can source BMS's directly from China with the specs you want, but I am not sure you'd be able to place your trust in it like you can with the Battleborn system. As far as building your own, I have been researching that question for a week now. I just got a quote today for a 240ah prismatic cell battery (4- 240 ah prismatic cells in series), with pure copper busbars and screws and a 200a (supposedly quality) BMS, and the price was 930 delivered to my door in WA State including 5% paypal fee. Now that is a fine price for 240ah compared to 100ah for the Battleborn. The specs are nearly identical, but now I have to decide if its worth the risk! The China source does have a 5 year warranty and they have been around a relatively long time for their industry, but its a crapshoot with a grand on the line........

You would not be able to do that. Connecting two batteries in series, where you connect the plus from one to the minus of the other, increases the volts. So you would end up with 24V across those two, at 100Ah. Wiring in parallel, where you connect the plusses together and then the minuses together, increases the amp hours, so parallelling two 100Ah batteries would equal 12V 200Ah. If you have 6 12V batteries, and you are trying to make a 24V 300Ah battery bank, you would wire 3 sets of batteries in series, and then wire those 3 sets together in parallel.

No thanks on this battery. I can get "standby" used AGMs that are 100Ah with 5 to 7 years of life remaining on them for $54 each ($70 - $16 scrap value when done with them). So for $864, I can get 16 of them for 12V 800Ah (usable down to 50% DoD). I could also arrange them for 24V 400Ah usable or 48V 200Ah usable. A single LiFePO4 battery (vs a bank of 16 AGMs) has limited applications, for example, you cannot run an average house on one 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery, but you likely can with the sixteen 12V 100Ah (50Ah usable) AGMs. I'll stick with AGMs because I don't really care much about light weight, in fact, I prefer the heavy ones cuz they are a "free workout" to lift. They have actually made me much stronger moving them around.

@cavemancamping - Those are valid points but not required for many applications. For example, for emergency backup power with a stationary battery bank (such as in a basement), who cares if they are 80 pounds each or 30 pounds each? Also, if very good used AGMs are available (which they are for me), I can easily beat the price of new lithiums as I described in a previous comment here. I guess it depends on the application but to say that lithium is cheaper than AGM in the longrun is not a totally accurate statement since good used AGMs are out there but where are all the good used lithiums? If the Battle Born 12V 100Ah batteries would drop in price by 50% over the next 2 years, then I would be tempted to purchase 2 of them (for $1000 total) but until then, I will stick with my powerful, reliable, and cheap AGMs.

That is a totally different option that may be better for some people, but not all. The forklift batteries are much much heavier and bigger than lithium. The wet batteries also need regular maintenance, which many people are unable or unwilling to do. The beauty about energy storage nowadays, is there are so many options that can meet different needs.

How does this guy Sean know that the way he tests them is "harder" than a customer would use them? For example, imagine someone with a 200A alternator that connects one of these batteries, in a highly discharged state, to an idling car that is putting out 125A at 14V. That would be MORE than his 100A test. He is making assumptions and in this case, a bad one.

@cavemancamping - you don't know what gear I need because you don't know what I already have. My point was how is the BMS going to limit the charge current to 100A? If it already does that, then why in the presentation does Sean say 100A charge rate maximum and 50A max recommended? If the BMS could knock it down to 100A max then he should have said something like "hit it with anything, our BMS will automatically knock it down to a safe amount".

Not a plant tour, just interviews in the plant. Fake news. BAD. Visit to plant, misleading crap.

It was a visit to the plant. We spoke to people on the manufacturing floor about their products. Exactly as we said. There wasn't much else to show that wasn't proprietary, and therefore not available to the public. Sorry if it didn't meet what you wanted it to be.
