Andy of Off Grid Garage, in Australia, has posted a recent video about this very phenomenon in his large, year old multi-cell storage bank. The bulging occurs parallel to the anodes, as do yours. He wasn't alarmed, nor interested in compression. Regards.
Just a warning, I bought these eco worthy batteries, 12v 100ah not long ago. I discovered they are not making them with prismatic cells, but with pouch cells now.
This batteries are really badly designed. This cells should be under pressure
Please reconsider disabling down votes. In my opinion it's not conducive to getting more subscribers, or keeping them.
I see allot of swollen CATL cell's, apparently that's quite normal
Great content mate. Just wish you would upload more often.
Got nervous with that steel ruler lol
I'm a little confused by that 3.54V cell... a cell that has been sitting a couple of days should not be anywhere near 3.54V. Even without a BMS vampiring. You might need to blow off a little charge for a minute or two on all the cells to get a proper voltage reading. But still... 3.54V after a few days seems really high. Well, too late now 🙂
quality seem not so bad when you look the price
Thank you sir, great review. I don't mind concave, vs bloated! I am not that experienced with balancing but that balance (before balancing) seems terrible, suggesting low quality cells. I think I'll go with SOK due to the modular construction.
In a solar land where power thrives,
great video thumbs up even if I'd like to replace the Bms by putting the Bluetooth one, I wouldn't be able to do it💪🏼💪🏼👋🏼👋🏼😊😊🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
In order to not have a chance of runaway voltage, you should set the power supply voltage you want to "Top Balance" at before you hook the leads to the battery. Then increase the current after you connect the leads to the battery. This way you know what the maximum input voltage will be. Otherwise you have no idea what your max voltage is set at. (When the leads are connected, the voltage readout on the power supply will show the present battery voltage, not the supply's set voltage.) If you arent babysitting the charging for when the current drops, you can overcharge your cells and damage them.
Hi Bill, I expect your a dab hand at opening the Eco's now. I've decide to keep the remaining one I have. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to open one, while keeping any casing damage minimal? I'd like to be able to reuse the case if I can. It's Den btw, changed my screen name a while ago. Looking forward to seeing how the upgraded bms works out, thanks for the video, interesting stuff!
What were the cells like for bulging when new? Did you check them?
