    My track car use 4 of the blue ones of higher capacity (the 42xxx are 15AH) and it's awesome. You don't need 200A for a small 4 cylinders. I've seen peaks of 50 to 70 A.

    FYI: Clarification on Cold Start; Engine that hasn't ran for an extended period of time like parked overnight. It refers to engine has ample time to cool down, and oil has settled from cylinder to the pan. Most engine damage occurs during this initial few seconds of "cold start" when lubrication is not sufficient. Some folks here are confusing "cold start" with starting the engine during cold weather. It is similar, but the test here is satisfactory for definition of Cold Start. The engine temperature and ambient air temperature is very close to each other, at or below average air temperature of 72 degree Fahrenheit. So, from what it looks like this was a true "COLD START". Good video.

  • @peterdkay
    @peterdkay 6 років тому +10

    Your charger will charge up to 6 cells in series. For 4 cells all you need is a 5 pin balance connector plugged into side of charger so it can read each cell voltage. When you start select 4S and charging current (2A) before you long press START button. I suggest you only use 2A charging as it may overload charger power supply. (2A x 14V=28Watts).

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  6 років тому +2

      I will see if I can jerry rig something up. My power supply is a 16.5 Amp 12V power supply harvested from an Xbox system. It's 203W so it should be OK for the job. Thanks for the suggestion. All the best.

    • @Huebel01
      @Huebel01 6 років тому +1

      Well, this charger only provides 50 Watts charging power. A beefier power supply is not necessary. But it is still better to charge all 4 cells at once in a 4S configuration.

    The main problem for use in a car would be the relative low capacity of 8 Ah. My car (Scoda octavia 1,9 l TDI Diesel) draws 40 mA of standby current just when sitting in the garage. This is for clock and other electronics, maybe also creeping current but seems to be normal on other cars too. This means a loss of 1 Ah per day. So when the car sits still in a garage for one week your battery would be nearly empty or already overdischarged quite a lot.
    The other thing is, normally, after starting the car, the lightmachine would charge the battery with a very high current (there is no cc normally!), that can mean it would charge with 30 or 40 amps for a moment. Probably this wouldn't hurt the LiFePo - but not sure here.

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  6 років тому +4

      A proper BMS would protect the cells. Thanks.

    • @richardnanis
      @richardnanis 6 років тому +1

      Yes, when thay are nearly empty. You couldn't start then any more, when the BMS had already shut down...

  • @mrpangy4174
    @mrpangy4174 6 років тому +2

    Nice. I wonder if half of the question of starting the car cold meant having a cold battery... Stick the battery in the refrigerator to bring it's temp down and try starting the car... Then stick the battery in the freezer for a while and repeat... Just an idea you might consider.

      They're nice cells and pretty tough too, just don't over torque the screws into them. If you need them to stay put, use LockTite. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

  • @izifaddag8221
    @izifaddag8221 5 років тому +1

    Thank you Richard you answered many questions all in one go for me. I want to buy a pack of 8 and then create 2 cells in a 4S format. I would then use 2 x cheap BMS circuits. They claim to be able to deliver 100a continuous and 150a spike. They are Chinese and I am somewhat distrusting. So watching you start a car, cold without a BMS and with only 4 batteries is extremely encouraging. This will be for my mini camper van. It has to run a 700 watt microwave. In real speak 1050 watts. I will use a 200 watt solar array plus the alternator to charge them. Thanks again you gave me hope.

    Hey, I'm pretty sure that charger can charge all four of those at the same time at 12V (4 in series, AKA 4S).

    • @AsylumET
      @AsylumET 5 років тому +1

      Just solder the wires from a 4S lipo balance lead to each cell then plug it into the charger's balance port while charging from the outer most negative and positive leads. Google 4s balance wiring diagram.

  • @tinysolarshack9615
    @tinysolarshack9615 6 років тому +5

    Excellent. I figured they would do very well. I have small diesel so I might put my pack of eight on it some cold day and see what happens. First though I’m waiting on some hardware. In your other video you did measurements of your connector tie plates. I do not recall you giving a measurement for on center drill hole distance, perhaps you could share that in a video sometime 👍🤓

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  6 років тому +2

      The hole centers were 7.5mm from the edge of the plates. That allowed the optimal amount of surface contact with the cell. I used a 1/4 inch titanium nitride drill bit as the final bit but I started with a smaller bit to start the hole (also used my HF drill press) though if you had the patience and a steady and strong hand you could do it with a hand drill (no thanks). Thanks.

    • @tinysolarshack9615
      @tinysolarshack9615 6 років тому +1

      Actually I was thinking the distance from drill hole to drill hole center for the battery spacing. The other information has been helpful as well. 👍🤓

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  6 років тому +1

      It's 43mm between the center of the holes on the bars. Thanks.

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  6 років тому +1

      I will look into that charger. Can you manually calibrate it? Thanks.

    • @volvo09
      @volvo09 6 років тому +1

      Do you have any documentation on how to use it? I have a B6 (genuine imax - dc version) and it doesn't have a usb port, just what looks like some type of serial header or something. The box and manual state "pc connectivity", but I failed to find anything out when I last searched...at least knowing what the software is called now will probably help quite a bit more,....

    • @richardlloydusa

      @ABritInNY 6 років тому

      volvo09 I have seen some b6 users using skyrc software, but any real b6 with pc port can run the logview software and monitor that way. In the free to use logview program, you'll have to select your model from the drop down menu. I use it on a 10s 30a 1000w Icharger and it supports a bunch of different rc charger models.

    I built them in an airplane to save weight. The motor is a 2 stroke, 2 cylinder Solo with 44 kW and a reduction gear (1:3). The systems works fine, as long as it was warm outside. After a cold night (temperature about 0°C) I couldn`t start the motor. The cold batterie breaks down in voltage and amps. You will not find any factory charts for high discharge at low temperature. They know why. I reinstalled a lead Batterie (Odyssey) and everything was fine. Lead batteries are delivering a much higher cold current. The only Li batteries I know for these conditions are A123. I will stay with lead. And please, don`t test always brand new batteries with low cycles. They are always much better than used ones

    @trevortrevortsr2 6 років тому

    Richard here is a link to the Cell spec - www.headway-cn.com/en/showproducts.php?id=1560 - issues that would prevent its use as a replacement for a car battery are:
    1/ Max continuous discharging rating is 160amp with 200 peak which is marginal to start a cold car
    2/ Most alternators exceed the max continuous charge rate of 40a
    3/ It is not recommended to charge below +5 degree centigrade and charging at below freezing will permanently damage the cells

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  5 років тому +2

      You would have to create a circuit with a BMS that charges the battery pack you made with these cells using (constant current-constant voltage) as well you would have to isolate the battery from the Alternator directly as it would not properly charge the pack. As well you would have to protect the whole system from the extreme environment that exists under the hood of you car. I have never done it but I am sure it is possible.

      Check on on eBay(paid): ebay.us/ZypcGd it may be more practical to use 8 separate charging modules to do this job, like these on Amazon(paid): amzn.to/42min5s or eBay(paid): ebay.us/OrMdfQ I have a video on one of these modules here. It will charge a 12V battery at 8A: ua-cam.com/video/4Iey_qXxAmk/v-deo.html

  • @phillipjordanatd
    @phillipjordanatd 6 років тому

    Just curious the highest amount of amperage I could find was 100 amp bms which I have purchased for my headway cells, are you saying 8 cells with 2 bms's ?? I was curious if these would start a vehicle. I dont know a whole lot about batteries or electricity but this is what I was wondering.... 14.6 volt I believe is the amount of maximum voltage you would want to charge these and you certainly wouldn't want them dropping below 2.5 per a cell or 10 volts... What Im confused about is what the hell would a bms matter if the vehicle was charging at 14.6 volts?, If im not mistaken I believe most alternators run right around 14.6 volts and unless you were using the battery a lot without the alternator when on earth would you run into a problem unless the alternator failed? My reasoning for purchasing a bms was I was going to use the cells on there own to power different devices and thought using a bms would be my safest route. Also to note I recently had to purchase a agm battery and was informed not to ever charge it over 14.6 volts I had a tinenergy lipo4 charger that works excellent however I have two battery chargers as well one of them being a craftsman both supposedly charge agm but I wouldnt advise it because they go over 14.6 volts.

  • @Eric-ye5yz

    Charging a battery is simply a case of putting a charge onto a battery via a charge controller.

      Take a look at these:

      20 SPIM08HP 3.7V 8AH LIPO Cells At eBay: goo.gl/w7rJ5N
      42 SPIM08HP 3.7V 8AH LIPO Cells At eBay: goo.gl/5SL8Wm
      I have a video on these here: ua-cam.com/video/sREdlaPEgLg/v-deo.html and here ua-cam.com/video/Gw9f68gN_s4/v-deo.html
      These were harvested from Chinese electric buses so they will probably serve you well.
      But understand these are LIPO cells you will have to make batteries at 12V that give you the amperage you need and you will have to have the appropriate BMS and charging system to match them. It's doable but is it worth it? I don't know. Nice Bus!

    It is all about the voltage drop on the battery, doesn't really matter too much what the temp of the rest of the car is.

    • @thisisashan
      @thisisashan 5 років тому

      @@wolffforge4839 probably not too surprised. The effect of heat (cold is merely the absence of heat, isnt a real thing itself) on materials is covered at an early age. Probably more surprising that the viscosity itself would make specific engine types hard to start. Which is more related to the mechanics and an increase in the sustained draw from getting the engine to "turn".
      Depending on how said powertrain is engineered, that can be completely overcome. Just look at newer hybrid cars for good examples of what I'm saying.
      Currently what's surprising me is what you can do with some of the newer amalgams (mercury mixed with things) to accomplish things we didnt previously think possible.
      For instance, you can use a special amalgam to filter smokestacks on industrial buildings, and turn that smoke directly into usable coal. Just by running it through a specific amalgam filter.

    • @tech29X
      @tech29X 5 років тому

      Yes , battery output drops as chemical reaction is slowed down due to cold temperature, but cold engine temperature is also harder to crank due to thickening of lubricating oils, so it's even harder to crank the engine. An engine that was recently turned off would still be warm, even the battery would have warmed up and charged up, and lubricating oil would still be present (not settled) in cylinder walls. What's the point of starting an already warmed up engine in cold freezing weather if it was recently turned off? But, you're right battery output is diminished when the battery is cold due to slow chemical reaction. COLD START during freezing cold weather is the real challenge. But, still, this was a cold start.

    Wow, that would fly a drone a long time. Take a trip over to R/C world. The electric planes have the packs put together with 1, 2 , 3 or 4 cells. The charger for these asks what voltage and then a charging harness hooks up sending power to each cell in little short bursts that each cell comes up to full charge about the same time as all the others. This is a "balanced charge". These packs are small to keep weight down and expensive. Often one cell out of 2 or 3 or 4 goes out and this renders the "pack" destroyed. Also they used to recommend charging these battery packs inside a special fireproof sock because the packs sometime bought fire. They also stated NEVER CHARGE these battery packs when no one is in the room, in caae of fire. They would first swell, vent a stinky smell, then smoke, then catch fire and as you know lithium burns FIERCELY!!!

      The charging system for lead acid battery in a car is a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) which is what these cells require but the charging system in a car also has a constant topping feature built in. I am not sure whether it would hurt these cells at all as they would be near their capacity at that point. It has not hurt my cells yet but as you saw they were not on there very long. The highest voltage the system would supply the pack would be 14.4V which would not be a problem. Here is a more detailed explanation of lead acid charging :goo.gl/QPQmFV

      I don't want a channel I'm just commenting : getting my assumption hat on here.... Short term it'd probably be fine, but long term you'd need balancing. Since cars charge at 14.2 to 14.4 (with newer cars dropping to 13.8 at low electrical load to save a bit of fuel) it's under the max voltage of the pack. I'll have to look up how they handle a constant "top off" voltage though... That degrades li ion cells over time, but these aren't them...

    • @seanflanagan5674

      If you build one of these just to jump-start, the charging current would not harm the pack. However, if left in place while the engine was running, it would ruin the cells. To use a pack of these as a permanent LA battery replacement, it is imperative to get a proper BMS and charge the pack through it.
