You've covered every single one of the issues I have with this build. Only other thing I can think of would be to provide for improved cooling while the pack is in use. But I'm nit picking there. 🙃
I made one of these about 2 years ago using a commercial case kit inc BMS. No on/off switch but added a small push button switch and a battery level meter. I also made another including a cell monitor instead which shows voltage overall plus volts on each bank & alarms when individual banks drop below minimum volts. The level display and the alarm/monitor are available online for a low price and are a worthwhile addition.
I want to ask you something . Please tell me if you know about it. For many days I'm trying to find or build a hot cutter knife like tool which can cut the plastic so I can put switches , led lights or connectors in the plastic body. soldering iron only works for round holes and it gets messed up with melted plastic, small cutting disk doesn't work everywhere. I tried to modifying a soldering iron but it didn't work as expected. Currently I heat up a knife on the gas stove and cut the plastic with it , But it is so frustrating, I have to keep re heating it and I can do it in kitchen only, I end up giving up on many projects. Please tell me if you have solution to this issue. I'll be very thankful.
@@ErCanEverythingyes they're great with a fine blade for straight edges and the narrow width blade does great holes for rectangular switches. The sides of the blades can also be ground down to get them narrower.
A very fine build, I was not aware that a pack of 18650 cells would fit so perfectly inside a 12V gel-cell case. Also was not aware that a PET bottle would shrink so nicely over an 18650 pack - a good idea if/when you don't have commercial Heat Shrink Tubing that large when you need it. I would like to give three minor suggestions: First, go easy on the heat around the cells when shrinking down the covering (as Lloyd's Shednanigans suggested below) to avoid overheating the pack. Second, use 1/4" tinned braid instead of flattened solid core wire to join the cells together. It's just as thin but will carry more current and give you a small degree of flexibility which could prevent a cracked solder joint from disabling or causing sparks inside the pack. And third, put in an inline fuse, such as an auto fuse, above the cells like you did the switch and USB connectors to protect the pack from over-current situations.

Good skills. Good ideas. Perhaps the cells should not be touching each other to allow air gap for air flow to cool the cells. The shrink wrapping with PET bottle also restricts a lot of air flow. Not sure if the final product is a fire hazard or not.
Fire hazard? No. If the cells are heating up to the point that combustion was possible you are abusing them not using them. Heat produced during normal use would not create any issue whatsoever.

Nice. But I prefer 4S LiFePo4 for lead-acid alternative because of better voltage equality and compatibility with chargers and equipment and higher currents capability.

I completely agree, Sobakin76. Lead-acid batteries charge at 14v. With only three 3.6v lithium-ion cells in series, you get 14v / 3 = 4.67v charging voltage, which is way too high. The BMS will presumably lower that to something reasonable, but probably at the cost of a lot of waste heat while charging, and you'll get less than 11v out of the resulting battery pack. With four 3.2v LiFePo4 cells, instead, you get 12.6v, which is a perfect match for a lead-acid battery, and you get the longevity and safety of LiFePo4, too. Where do you get your 32700 or 33140 LiFePo4 cells, are you pleased with their quality, and what BMS do you use?
@@ncdave4life BMS won't lower charging voltage, it just disconnect batteries. I got batteries in local store in UA, I use 60/100A "white board" BMS with balabcer from Ali, it has variants for li-ion and for lifepo4 (different chips) and from 3s to 5s (can be changed)

If you're going to spend the money on all those 18650s, you might as well spring for another $10 and actually buy a shell along with that charging board that's made for what you're making. Then you don't have to deal with poisonous battery bits. Soda bottle heat drink ideas fantastic though. Plastic bottles are blow molded so when you heat them they shrink, good idea.
This is a wonderful project! If I built it, I would not trust the bottle as insulation material. I would add an extra layer. And also a separate layer between the external battery poles and the PCB. In case a wire is getting lose, it can lead to a serious shortcut and fire. A fuse would also be good to protect the device, at best an external fuse which can be reset in case it has tripped. Battery voltage of 12,2V is very low for lead acid batteries, most appliances need voltages between 12 and 13V. If I connect a battery charger for 18V batterys to a 12V lead acid battery, it stops charging the connected battery if voltage is lower than 12V. Also consider that there is a voltage drop inside battery and on the lines.
Excellent project! I have same BMS, but I planned to use it in drill battery.. Now I considering to use it in garage Lithium battery project to replace SLA.. My solar charger can charge SLA and Lithium, only I need to change settings.. Love idea to use old used soda bottle as heat shrink tube! ❤️👍 Great video with cool ideas!
Free giant shrink tubes. Saw that trick years ago and use it to fix many things. Cracked cordless screwgun? no problem. Soda bottle. That was years ago and it still work fine. That stuff is strong when it shrinks up.
I was supprised when I saw here that old bottle can be also used this way! will use this on my own next battery project! thanks for this :) very help and useful
Good idea, though you can actually buy pre-made cases (with cell holders) so you can just make a 11.1V Li-Ion battery pack without needing to destroy a 12V lead acid battery in the process.
Japanese people who do not speak English can easily understand So it will be helpful. Very great! The 18650 is easy to use and very good, but now I'm making a portable power supply with LFP.💐
If you carefully read the title and the description, I wrote there that it is 12V 16.8A, but if we calculate it as a Power Bank, it is equivalent to a 50400mAh Power Bank. if we connect all 24 x 2100mAh batteries in parallel then it becomes 3.6V 50400mAh which is equal to 181.44W
@@Bogdosko Tipujem že to bude kapacita pri 5V výstupnom napäti z powerbanky. Keď to má pri 12V 16.8Ah tak pri 5V by to mohlo byť 50Ah ale prepočítavať to a kontrolovať to určite nebudem.
20:20 The bench PSU was shut off because the over charge protection (battery BMS) turned off the charge, the battery voltage was over 12.9V which is too much for a 3S Lithium Ion battery pack. Li-Ion cells should not be charged to anything higher than 4.2V per cell, which is 12.6V total. So you need to set your power supply to 12.6V and wait until it drops down to a very low charging current.
You are absolutely right. I wanted to show you that the BMS automatically shuts off once it reaches a critical voltage for the batteries. I set the power supply above 13V to show you that the BMS works, but the current must be observed according to the numbers of batteries and the manufacturer's specifications.🙂
This battery is not available to a car or motorcycle. Because in those voltage is on 14.2volt level. Simply acid battery can be loaded by 16.2 voltage. Maybe we can take one liion battery more on one cell than a capacity. Then in the loading process we have 12.6 plus 4.2 and will be 16.8. And in the lowest lvl of voltage will be 3.3 x 4 equals 13.2volt. A little more than we need. 14.2 is the limit of loading in cars/motorcycle. And this is a little under we want. In the past I think about this kind of battery and this kind of problem. But if we want a good capacity of power bank we have a good one sample on the move. Good job.
@@budzio135 Car or motorcycle batteries will usually be much larger than 7Ah. Car batteries in particular will be about 80Ah or more, so this small battery will not be able to replace a car battery. However, for 12V appliances that need a lot of power and need to be portable, this battery pack is ideal. So boomboxes, portable televisions, etc. I will probably make one myself for a 12V car clock, which has always been known to chew batteries.
@@TheSpotify95 there are lithium battery for cars but are too much in parallel..to handle 100_300amp should 40_50 lithium battery in parallel and 3_4 in series..of course a powerful charger..fo fast charging constant current charging...
Hello, as I have been able to observe, it was enough with a charging voltage of 12.65 maximum 12.7, when applying 13v that's why the battery shows a voltage lower than 12.6 since the bms protected it.... On the other hand what a good battery elaboration!!!
Other than a 3S 8P 18650 pack being significantly less than 12V for most of its discharge cycle and possible fire risk, bravo. Being a nominal 11.1 volts may or may not be a problem depending on what you use it for.
One suggestion: The USB modules have LED's on them, You could have drilled holes in the lid of the box above the LED's then refilled the holes with clear Epoxy, this will allow the lights to be seen as an indicator the the USB modules are turned on. I've done this many times and it works well.
This idea is very interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience. Please tell me how many degrees did you set the temperature of the heater to connect the batteries?
The metal panels look a similar size to the 6800-9800mah lithium flat packs, I'm sure you could get some directly matched sizes and boost that mah rating even more.
Good idea👍. But I think it needs another charger for 3.7V+3.7V+3.7V batteries. If the charging voltage reach 13.20V soon the lithium batteries get damaged.
@@fraaggl My reference is the IC TEA2025, it's a very sensible circuit, it's made to operate on 9v DC and can handle 12v without issues, but if reach it's absolute maximum voltage (the value depends on manufacturer, can be 14.5v or 15v), it simply burns, above the limit, the chip trends to heat more than usual with voltage higher than 12v and lesser than the limit.
Not quite correct in regards to voltage balancing, as the voltage balancing only occurs during the charging cycle at lowered current. Hence the resistance of the wires in the BMS Monitoring path (Resistivity * cross-sectional area * length) is not a significant factor during the charge cycle Where the wire size does matter is in the discharge path - the cell to cell connections, the Cell Bank +ve & - ve to BMS B+ & B - , and the BMS P+ & P - to the External Case Terminals.
Wow cool, I'm going to copy this almost exactly. Question. What would happen in I added a 9th battery on each row of 3? Would capacity just go up? or would the bms not function properly be used it would make voltage go up instead.
@@ErCanEverything It can't work properly. 12V application will try to charge battery to 13.8-14.4 volts. BMS will cut off overcharge, UPS will loose battery. If you wanna use it as USB power bank, that's another question :)
Hi there, I'm building a battery pack very similar to yours, and I was not sure what BMS or power shear board to use, and so I learned which one is going to work from your video build, very nice job..😎👍 PS. I also like how you used the plastic bottle as the insulation for the battery's cells, Nice 👍
1. Solder is not glue. Make a secure mechanical connection, then solder the wire. This is what the holes in the circuit board are for. You might be confident enough in your soldering skills to get away with it, but the viewers might not be. Solder will fatigue over time and vibration and the connection will break at the worst possible time. 2. Great idea and implementation using the old SLA casing, but, use your words... Explain why you are doing what we see in the video and where you are going with it.
I'm glad you liked the video. Maybe you're right about the solder but there wasn't enough space in the box and if I had soldered the wires in the holes there was a chance they would short circuit over time touching the cells. Otherwise I use it for lighting or to charge my phone when I go camping
Great build but do you think maybe some better thicker cable to the 12volt terminals would be good. They must have got very hot with that halogen lamp.😊
lol.. everything was great, but u forgot cover the 12v output inside the case , which can make serious damage... i loved the way u used bottle plastic to cover the battery
I probably would have doubled up the copper strips to make sure they could handle the current going through them, but its not for a vehicle like i originally thought so i guess it doesnt matter.
Good time chewing video watch but here are some points. The pack is 3S and not 4S thus voltage output and charge voltages lower. Lead-Acid (LA) runs very different volatages and current flows on output and charge. Putting Lithium into a case designed and configured to plug in LA applications just doesn't work without changes to the system feeding to/from it. So many have gone down path of trying to run UPS's of these turds and find it sucks bad, especially with 3S. If you wanna build a power bank, put it in a different container/package.
Initially I also thought that the voltage would be low, but they are almost identical. the minimum voltage for LA batteries is around 10 ~ 10,5V, for 3S it is 9.6~9.9V, I even made a 3S 22Ah Li-ion UPS pack and so far I have no problems. ua-cam.com/video/cf-4e0qoOVM/v-deo.html
I bought the batteries from someone who replaces defective electric scooter batteries. The BMS and QC modules are from Aliexpress, the links are in the video description.🙂
These has been my challenge with these lithium ion batteries. Full charge is 12.6v. Without using dedicated lithium ion battery charger, you will not get the full charge. Other charges will cut off at 12v or a little above that. So, how do you solve this challenge?
It was an LA battery from a UPS whose charging voltage is 13.7V. I made a 3S 8P Li-ion battery that can be charged at a maximum of 12A, I don't believe the UPS charger will exceed 4A which will not affect this pack. And once the voltage reaches 12.7~ 12.8V, the BMS will automatically stop charging
@@ErCanEverything and totally different voltage profile to what the UPS is expecting thus you won't get anywhere near a deep discharge or most of the actuall current Lithium can produce. Unless you have a lithium configured UPS, stick with a chemistry it is designed for. Besides, 3S is a cheap way out from using 4S.
Step the game up, use yourself some cell spacers. At the very least put something between the cells. Only the worst packs on the market will ever have cells touching each other. I can personally attest to that.
Most projects on youtube are bullshit and fire hazards, but this is actually something i would do, that plastic bottle trick is so genius and i would probably not even put it in the lead acid battery housing just leave it with the bottle

I love the bottle idea so much!😎
I'm glad you liked it my Friend🙂🤝🍀
That bottle idea was really genius
I love that home made copper busbar
If you're going to spend the money on all those 18650s, you might as well spring for another $10 and actually buy a shell along with that charging board that's made for what you're making. Then you don't have to deal with poisonous battery bits. Soda bottle heat drink ideas fantastic though. Plastic bottles are blow molded so when you heat them they shrink, good idea.
What an amazing idea for shrink wrap I genuinely learnt something today
Thank you🙂
But what about these cells? How would you find promising 18650 which will keep it's original capacity for say like 1 year....
Freaking unbelievable from start to finish super BOSS mode, bro you're a true prepper🙏
Thank you my Friend🙏🙂🤝
This is a wonderful project! If I built it, I would not trust the bottle as insulation material. I would add an extra layer. And also a separate layer between the external battery poles and the PCB. In case a wire is getting lose, it can lead to a serious shortcut and fire.
A fuse would also be good to protect the device, at best an external fuse which can be reset in case it has tripped.
Battery voltage of 12,2V is very low for lead acid batteries, most appliances need voltages between 12 and 13V. If I connect a battery charger for 18V batterys to a 12V lead acid battery, it stops charging the connected battery if voltage is lower than 12V. Also consider that there is a voltage drop inside battery and on the lines.
Excellent project! I have same BMS, but I planned to use it in drill battery.. Now I considering to use it in garage Lithium battery project to replace SLA.. My solar charger can charge SLA and Lithium, only I need to change settings..
Love idea to use old used soda bottle as heat shrink tube! ❤️👍
Great video with cool ideas!
Thank you very much🙏🤝
Трябва да ти призная, че имаш много прецизни ръце. Евалла!
Благодаря ти Приятелю🙏🤝
Free giant shrink tubes. Saw that trick years ago and use it to fix many things. Cracked cordless screwgun? no problem. Soda bottle. That was years ago and it still work fine. That stuff is strong when it shrinks up.
I was supprised when I saw here that old bottle can be also used this way! will use this on my own next battery project! thanks for this :) very help and useful
OKAY BUT WHY SHOUT THO?
@@supermpe LOL. I hope you're OK from all that yelling.
Waa bhai botle kya use kiya hai amazing nice bhai love ❤ from odisha, bargarh
Good idea, though you can actually buy pre-made cases (with cell holders) so you can just make a 11.1V Li-Ion battery pack without needing to destroy a 12V lead acid battery in the process.
Where?
thats the perfect use of space and technology ..mind blowing...🤟
Japanese people who do not speak English can easily understand
So it will be helpful.
Very great!
The 18650 is easy to use and very good, but now I'm making a portable power supply with LFP.💐
Skillfull build, thoughtful, and well produced video. Definitely a keeper. More, please! 👍
Thank you my Friend🙂❤️🤝🤝🤝
@@ErCanEverythingI'm late but I wanna know how do you charge it? Since I didn't see charging port
EXCELLENT!!!
The best project with an old lead acid battery 12v and li-ion cells.
Good job 👍and I'll probably steal the idea with that bottle ;-)
Thanks buddy🤝🍻
They are really very helpful👍
Nevieš kde nabral 50 400mAh ?😂
If you carefully read the title and the description, I wrote there that it is 12V 16.8A, but if we calculate it as a Power Bank, it is equivalent to a 50400mAh Power Bank. if we connect all 24 x 2100mAh batteries in parallel then it becomes 3.6V 50400mAh which is equal to 181.44W
@@Bogdosko Tipujem že to bude kapacita pri 5V výstupnom napäti z powerbanky. Keď to má pri 12V 16.8Ah tak pri 5V by to mohlo byť 50Ah ale prepočítavať to a kontrolovať to určite nebudem.
а если вместо 18650 взять аккумуляторы из использованных электронных сигарет, то такая банка получится еще и очень дешевой.
хорошая идея. лайк.
20:20 The bench PSU was shut off because the over charge protection (battery BMS) turned off the charge, the battery voltage was over 12.9V which is too much for a 3S Lithium Ion battery pack.
Li-Ion cells should not be charged to anything higher than 4.2V per cell, which is 12.6V total. So you need to set your power supply to 12.6V and wait until it drops down to a very low charging current.
You are absolutely right.
I wanted to show you that the BMS automatically shuts off once it reaches a critical voltage for the batteries.
I set the power supply above 13V to show you that the BMS works, but the current must be observed according to the numbers of batteries and the manufacturer's specifications.🙂
This battery is not available to a car or motorcycle. Because in those voltage is on 14.2volt level. Simply acid battery can be loaded by 16.2 voltage. Maybe we can take one liion battery more on one cell than a capacity. Then in the loading process we have 12.6 plus 4.2 and will be 16.8. And in the lowest lvl of voltage will be 3.3 x 4 equals 13.2volt. A little more than we need. 14.2 is the limit of loading in cars/motorcycle. And this is a little under we want. In the past I think about this kind of battery and this kind of problem. But if we want a good capacity of power bank we have a good one sample on the move. Good job.
@@budzio135 Car or motorcycle batteries will usually be much larger than 7Ah. Car batteries in particular will be about 80Ah or more, so this small battery will not be able to replace a car battery. However, for 12V appliances that need a lot of power and need to be portable, this battery pack is ideal. So boomboxes, portable televisions, etc. I will probably make one myself for a 12V car clock, which has always been known to chew batteries.
@@TheSpotify95 there are lithium battery for cars but are too much in parallel..to handle 100_300amp should 40_50 lithium battery in parallel and 3_4 in series..of course a powerful charger..fo fast charging constant current charging...
Hello, as I have been able to observe, it was enough with a charging voltage of 12.65 maximum 12.7, when applying 13v that's why the battery shows a voltage lower than 12.6 since the bms protected it....
On the other hand what a good battery elaboration!!!

This is on another level. Very nice job.
❤️❤️❤️
a great idea. but it will be very difficult for newbies without a wiring diagram. but very good and worth learning. Thank you😊
Other than a 3S 8P 18650 pack being significantly less than 12V for most of its discharge cycle and possible fire risk, bravo. Being a nominal 11.1 volts may or may not be a problem depending on what you use it for.
"possible fire risk, bravo" .... i don't get it
@@balloney2175 Bravo for doing a good job other than the 2 problems. (not 12v and it possibly being a fire risk)
One suggestion: The USB modules have LED's on them, You could have drilled holes in the lid of the box above the LED's then refilled the holes with clear Epoxy, this will allow the lights to be seen as an indicator the the USB modules are turned on. I've done this many times and it works well.
Wow its very nice mate, and i like the way you use the bottle, its nice idea 👍👍👍
Yes, these bottles are very useful.
Thank you my Friend🙏🤝🤝🤝
Plastic bottle shrink wrap is a GREAT IDEA !!
Thank you🙂
Very creative. Very nice design and build. I will have to get brave and try this sometime.
Thanks for the kind words🙂🤝, but you have to be very careful with the batteries!
I made a 3s 3p 18650 pack and use it all the time for running a electric fuel pump. It works great!
And I sometimes use this battery to inflate car tires or my kids' bike tires.
And I am very pleased🙌🙂

Heat shrinking …….Genius !
This idea is very interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Please tell me how many degrees did you set the temperature of the heater to connect the batteries?
The metal panels look a similar size to the 6800-9800mah lithium flat packs, I'm sure you could get some directly matched sizes and boost that mah rating even more.
Good idea👍. But I think it needs another charger for 3.7V+3.7V+3.7V batteries. If the charging voltage reach 13.20V soon the lithium batteries get damaged.
3s liion for 12v is a little bit short... 13.2v /4 = 4.4, knowing that max voltage for each cell is 4.2...
There's sensitive electronics that doesn't handle over voltage
nominal voltage is 3.7x3 = 11.1v
you are right, it is a little bit short
But the voltage sag is less at higher currents, it can make up for it.
BMS vonted only 12,8 v !!!
@@dschannel1171 electronics suited for 12v can handle 14.5 v normally...
@@fraaggl My reference is the IC TEA2025, it's a very sensible circuit, it's made to operate on 9v DC and can handle 12v without issues, but if reach it's absolute maximum voltage (the value depends on manufacturer, can be 14.5v or 15v), it simply burns, above the limit, the chip trends to heat more than usual with voltage higher than 12v and lesser than the limit.
Отличное работа, за труды однозначно лайк 👍
Wires on bms needs to be on same lengths and gauge sizes to have similar resistance for accurate voltage balancing.
And you can atleast put a voltage indicator to let you know the charge level..
There was no space for a voltmeter but I will add an external small voltmeter
Not quite correct in regards to voltage balancing, as the voltage balancing only occurs during the charging cycle at lowered current.
Hence the resistance of the wires in the BMS Monitoring path (Resistivity * cross-sectional area * length) is not a significant factor during the charge cycle
Where the wire size does matter is in the discharge path - the cell to cell connections, the Cell Bank +ve & - ve to BMS B+ & B - , and the BMS P+ & P - to the External Case Terminals.
I wish I could use the hammer that fast..Great plastic bottle wrap. Wish I could solder that good and fast. André
I increased the speed of the video so that you are not bored when you watch.
Gracias excelente ilustración, lo hace ver tan fácil, gracias
Thank you very much🙏🙂🤝
Wow cool, I'm going to copy this almost exactly. Question. What would happen in I added a 9th battery on each row of 3? Would capacity just go up? or would the bms not function properly be used it would make voltage go up instead.
you need 4S lifepo4 configuration to match VRLA working range. 3S li-on will not work in 12v application
In this video you can see how it works on UPS
ua-cam.com/video/cf-4e0qoOVM/v-deo.html
@@ErCanEverything It can't work properly. 12V application will try to charge battery to 13.8-14.4 volts. BMS will cut off overcharge, UPS will loose battery. If you wanna use it as USB power bank, that's another question :)
Should have included the bottom of bottle for shrink wrap. This was an awesome project! Thanks for sharing. Needs a charge status indicator.
The bottom of plastic bottle like that are hard. Must use water bottle plastic bottle bottom are soft
Yeah I really had to put a charge indicator on it
Hi there, I'm building a battery pack very similar to yours, and I was not sure what BMS or power shear board to use, and so I learned which one is going to work from your video build, very nice job..😎👍
PS. I also like how you used the plastic bottle as the insulation for the battery's cells, Nice 👍
Thank you🙂🤝
ngl, the pet bottle wrap is pretty smart.
It's much more useful if you go for LiFePO4 4s rather the Lipo 3s... The 3s won't match alternators and other 12v systems properly.
Exactly. 4.3x3= only 12.9V. But usual chargers give 14+V. So it will be 4.7v per cell. It is well too much. May explode.
1. Solder is not glue. Make a secure mechanical connection, then solder the wire. This is what the holes in the circuit board are for. You might be confident enough in your soldering skills to get away with it, but the viewers might not be. Solder will fatigue over time and vibration and the connection will break at the worst possible time.
2. Great idea and implementation using the old SLA casing, but, use your words... Explain why you are doing what we see in the video and where you are going with it.
I'm glad you liked the video. Maybe you're right about the solder but there wasn't enough space in the box and if I had soldered the wires in the holes there was a chance they would short circuit over time touching the cells. Otherwise I use it for lighting or to charge my phone when I go camping
Soldering lithium batteries will cause damage to the cell. Everyone knows that, unless you don't nothing about batteries.

Really?
Excellent. The part of the heat gun ajajaj. Nice!
Great build but do you think maybe some better thicker cable to the 12volt terminals would be good. They must have got very hot with that halogen lamp.😊
lol.. everything was great, but u forgot cover the 12v output inside the case , which can make serious damage... i loved the way u used bottle plastic to cover the battery
I probably would have doubled up the copper strips to make sure they could handle the current going through them, but its not for a vehicle like i originally thought so i guess it doesnt matter.
The maximum discharge current of these batteries is 5A total 40A.
I don't think I'll load it more than 40A because that will destroy the batteries
@@ErCanEverything Yeah, after i saw what it was gonna be used for i disregarded the need for extra copper..
Супер видео ! Продължавай все така! 😉😃
Благодаря за подкрепата Приятелю🙏🙂🤝🤝🤝
Good time chewing video watch but here are some points. The pack is 3S and not 4S thus voltage output and charge voltages lower. Lead-Acid (LA) runs very different volatages and current flows on output and charge. Putting Lithium into a case designed and configured to plug in LA applications just doesn't work without changes to the system feeding to/from it. So many have gone down path of trying to run UPS's of these turds and find it sucks bad, especially with 3S. If you wanna build a power bank, put it in a different container/package.
Initially I also thought that the voltage would be low, but they are almost identical. the minimum voltage for LA batteries is around 10 ~ 10,5V, for 3S it is 9.6~9.9V, I even made a 3S 22Ah Li-ion UPS pack and so far I have no problems.

These has been my challenge with these lithium ion batteries. Full charge is 12.6v. Without using dedicated lithium ion battery charger, you will not get the full charge. Other charges will cut off at 12v or a little above that. So, how do you solve this challenge?
No, think about it some more. Dangerous idea building Lithium into Lead-Acid cases.
It was an LA battery from a UPS whose charging voltage is 13.7V. I made a 3S 8P Li-ion battery that can be charged at a maximum of 12A, I don't believe the UPS charger will exceed 4A which will not affect this pack. And once the voltage reaches 12.7~ 12.8V, the BMS will automatically stop charging
@@ErCanEverything and totally different voltage profile to what the UPS is expecting thus you won't get anywhere near a deep discharge or most of the actuall current Lithium can produce. Unless you have a lithium configured UPS, stick with a chemistry it is designed for. Besides, 3S is a cheap way out from using 4S.
ErCan nice project 👍just be very careful with a hot air gun! take care my Friend
Thank you my Friend🙏🤝

Batteries for electric scooters and screwdrivers are assembled in the same way
Step the game up, use yourself some cell spacers. At the very least put something between the cells. Only the worst packs on the market will ever have cells touching each other. I can personally attest to that.
kewl video
whats diff between 6.5 and 7 ah does it matter in battery back up
Muito bom! Top
Most projects on youtube are bullshit and fire hazards, but this is actually something i would do, that plastic bottle trick is so genius and i would probably not even put it in the lead acid battery housing just leave it with the bottle
Get a box. Do not cut open lead acid battery. 😐
It's gone so no problem
It is a smf battery
Very well project! But if we have more detail explain is better ! 2 board is why we need ? Where we find it out ?..,
One is called BMS and serves to balance the cells. and the other is a Quick Charge QC3.0 module with 2 USB outputs for charging a phone, etc.
