Chinese 12V 50000mAh battery pack teardown (18650 lithium ion cells)

  • I needed a 12 volt battery pack for my bicycle LED lights that could run the lights for a couple of hours without charging. So I bought this "50,000mAh" battery pack from AliExpress. Noticing that it was quite lightweight, I thought I'd tear it down to see what was really inside it...
    The offending battery pack: www.aliexpress...
    The offending AliExpress store = "Aleaivy battery 2 store":
    www.aliexpress...
    (hint: it's not really 50Ah!)

    If there ever was a war on with China and I was a cruise missile technician, I'd program at least 12 cruise missles to go to these battery factories brah...

    I nearly got myself one. Good job man...
    Plus... The size of the charger can say a bit.

    I received time ago a 90Ah LFP battery that eventually had 12 cells (3 series of 4 parallels). It was not LiFePO4 and of course merely 12Ah.

    On the internet it says the highest mAh 18650 is the Panasonic NCR18650G (3600mAh). So if you use that info and battery knowledge, you can never get 50000 mAh. Regards

    Before seeing he video , it is impossible to get 12v 50 000 Mah with this small shape . If we have 12v 50ah we need 50 pcs of 18650 with capacity of 3.0ah .
    Pay attention when you buy a lithium ion battery .low price equal to bad quality.

  • @codebeat4192

    Actually it is at maximum: (3600*2)/3=2400mah or 2.4ah. I think these are cheap cells of about 600 or 700mah each. That will be a capacity of approx 466 mah.

    what happens if we put it on charging and in the same time we link it to load , does the bms will protect it and just discharge or it will be damaged

    • @MichaelBrooksDr
      @MichaelBrooksDr  11 місяців тому

      The BMS will protect the batteries from overcharge.
      The load you are feeding will probably get quite upset with the noise that comes off the really badly made switched mode power supply plug that comes with the battery pack.
      Should the load pull more current than the switched mode power supply can supply, current will be drawn from the battery too, until the battery drops below the BMS's low voltage level, at which point it will shut off. Then your load will be receiving whatever the switched mode power supply can provide.

      There are also fake 18650s on eBay's too! I've found that online vape shops tend to pride themselves in battery life so have decent QA over their battery suppliers, so they are a good source for decent batteries.

      The most you could get with 8 parallel would be 3500mAh * 8 = 28Ah, but I'd be willing to bet most of those cells are low capacity

    • @MichaelBrooksDr
      @MichaelBrooksDr  2 роки тому

      No worries: simply weigh the battery pack the moment you get it. If it weighs less than 5.4kg (48V * 30Ah / 265Wh/kg = 5.4kg), then send it back as "goods not as described".
      Just check how it was advertised. If they stated "30 amp", then they might be referring to peak current output capability rather than capacity. If "30 amp-hours" then it's capacity.

      ​@@jonathancifuentes7442 Jeez they really are taking the mickey now. Are there only 6 Lithium cells in there? Or have they at least added another 6 to create 6s2p so you get your 48V?
      If you are looking to parallel with another pack, make sure the second pack has similar characteristics (actual capacity, voltage) and has its own charge/discharge controller.

      I've found that the best way to get proper 18650 Lithium ion cells is to buy them from a reputable vaping products dealer, then get the charging / protection circuit as a module from AliExpress. You'll pay £2-£4 per Lithium ion cell but they will be high quality.

    • @MichaelBrooksDr
      @MichaelBrooksDr  2 роки тому

      Eh?
      The battery quotes its capacity in milliamp-hours, which is current * time. In your comment you are multiplying current * time by voltage, which gives you capacity in milliwatt-hours. But the battery quite clearly states "mAh". A few lines below it says the same thing again "Voltage/Capcity: 12V/50Ah" [sic]
      Power = current * voltage
      Power * time = current * time * voltage
      (mWh = mAh * V)
      Is your argument that the label is a typo and that the Chinese manufacturer really meant "50000mWh" and "12V/50Wh"?

    The Chinese add each cel mah and multiply by the number of cell so if 36v 10S3P has 30 x 18650 cell of 3000mah rating the battery should be 9ah or 9000mah however the Chinese do 3000mah x 30 and write 90000mah to scam buyers
