    Your kind review is generous to diypow that battery is close to dangerous.

    Damn dude, you're getting hammered with the shipping issues lately. That's too bad, this thing could've been a beast.

    Crazy expensive, since you can get a server rack batter at the same capacity with a better BMS and a resister built in for less. Try Signature Solar......

    have the same mppt . my best toy until today . got it ready for a server rack... hope this year i buy one rack 100a.... !!!!

    Thanks Brad. Great review given the circumstances. This is a design that is just begging for a failure. Pity. 48V is becoming more popular as people are waking up to the reduced current demands of 48V systems c.f. 12V systems.

      Yeah, those terminals are just too close to the cells. Probably would be fine if they put the thick fiberboard like I mentioned. Although if I was designing these things, I would also build some platform that simulated a rough shipping truck ride. Put the battery on it upside down for 5 days.

    Seen ups drive roll a miter saw in the box.They said that’s normal for over weight items.On time was all they cared about.

      Goodness, yeah I'd say I've had lots of damage on heavy items being shipped.

    I like the 48V batteries. We all need to stop dabbling with 12V and move up to 48.

      Are you crazy? 48V will kill you if you have a habit of chewing battery cables. But seriously? Why is 48V better (other than being a larger number)?

    • @BradCagle
      @BradCagle  Рік тому +4

      At 48v you you can carry less current while having a higher total power. For example, you need a 80A MPPT to charge a 12v battery bank with 1024w of solar, however you only need a 20A MPPT to charge 48v with 1024w of solar. The size, and cost difference between a 20A, and a 80A MPPT is massive. Now move on to cabling, the cost of large copper cabling adds up really fast for 12v. With 48v you can use much smaller cabling. Lastly the efficiency is higher on 48v, you'll have less heat, and waste.

      @@BradCagle Sorry for being ignorant, I just want to understand. If the voltage is higher then electrons are pushed faster through the cable. Doesn't that mean the amperage is higher? Or are you sending fewer electrons through a smaller cross-section of the cable, but faster? So the toal amount of electrons will be the same? So you can use thinner cables for higher voltages? Am I lost here...?

    Not a well made battery with those dents on the cells caused by the battery terminals due to not enough clearance, if this is used in mobile applications it will not survive.

    Kinda looks like, first thing to do with these, is open it up, remove the bms, and replace with a decent bms..

    Not sure why you would not just send it back right away before tearing into it. Makes no sense to me???

    • @BradCagle
      @BradCagle  Рік тому

      Not a bad point. But then we wouldn't see potentially hidden damage from the internal terminal design. With this design I could see these cells getting dented, but the BMS still functioning. I don't think I'd want dented cells hiding in my battery. From my experience with dented cells, they commonly become self dischargers (at a faster rate than non-dented). Also one of the point of these videos is to find issues. Thanks

    Well, now we know why they have "DIY" in the name of their battery. If you don't know how fix it yourself, you can't use it! Not a great product and definitely over-priced.

    The poor execution overshadows its potential.
