Those handles are mounted upside down. The bails should be facing down, that way when you use the handles they stop at 90 degrees and don’t smush your fingers between the bail and the body of the battery.
Hey Jehu, You Shoulda Left The Lid Open So You Coulda Thermal Cam The Insides For Shits & Giggles! Thanks 😁😎 PS Boats Are Mostly 24v Systems + Stainless Is Great! 👍👍
Although it would be a little awkward to hook up the battery cables and temp sensors, I am a little surprised they didn't flip the BMS over and use the case as a big heat sink for it. I agree with you that the parts used add up to the price point. It's a nice setup.
@@mrgcav and bms inside the case wouldn't? where would the heat go? the skin may not be a great conductor but a LOT better than air. With the setup as is the only way the heat gets out is via the box anyway, just less directly less efficiently and less quickly
This is a dumb question but Im confused how these batteries are able to charge and discharge from the same terminals. I thought a BMS needed seperate charge and discharge connections, no?
Really wish they were 12v. Too many RVs everything is 12v only. Pretty much would have to replace all big applicances with 24v ones. Also I can get 7s 24v li-ion. What makes LFP shine is it's ability to have the perfect voltage for 12v lead acid replacement.
$30 for battery terminals? I made mine with cable glands, and all thread coupling nuts, heat shrink the nuts to color code, then stick them through the gland, then just use a bolt on each end to connect the cables! If you are worried about the material, you can use a bar of brass or aluminum, in the same way, just drill and tap it. The glue lined, 3:1 shrink tubing, works well, and if the tubing is large enough, that it is near the smallest it can shrink, it is thicker, and seems to work better for this, anyway it works well, and is much cheaper
Well sure you can use a cardboard box a paper clip and bubble gum to build something but that’s not the same as a fancy product, all I’m saying is that the price is warranted due to component market costs.
About pretty much the exact same battery 24 vote S8 and I came up with $750 that's without no case and get a plastic case or metal case that just left them open with lithium 200-amp cells 3.2v my BMS is a m God BMS 200-amp with Bluetooth ! Yes that is a pretty good deal for $1,000 the right side of that you don't have to touch it all you have to do is pick it up hook it up and you're ready to roll!
So I've noticed on a lot of your videos the majority of the batteries you use is the 18650 And your opinion going through all the different manufacturers and putting together batteries some use some new would you say that's the battery of choice for the absolute cheapest way to obtain lithium battery storage
These are prime *Dags,* all right. I was told (mid eighties) that in some parts of Australia, large batteries could be called that. I may be recalling wrong, however, as more recent research spoke of that term being used to refer to the wool near the rump of (wool-bearing) sheep. Still, though, I used that term in original fiction to refer to “large batteries.”
When you can fully boil a Kettle (900Watts) from a 12volt battery, then you have a good battery!! So' 2cupers from a 24volts would be an OK battery. Regards.
Jakiper! no thanks. I bought their 48v 100ah rack mount battery and they sabotage the units. They turn on some motion alarm that activates an alarm and disables the unit. U need a $40 proprietary cable ($1 in parts) to turn off the alarm and restore service to the battery. They won't have the cables in stock until March 15th. DIY solar has threads on building your own cable. This is not just a couple of units here. There are many complaints.
They might well be making them themselves. It does not take *that* much in the way of equipment to make that kind of a box. I’m thinking a (mechanized) shear, a press-brake, a few jigs to help with assembly, and a couple of industrial-grade (440 volt) spot-welders. That might need a few - 4 or 5 people, and a small(er) shop. Thirty to a hundred such boxes a day would be do-able then. Heavy equipment - punch-presses, etc. - just makes the process of making such boxes quicker, easier, and less “care and thought intensive.” That setup is better for many hundreds into thousands per day.
@@bj97301 that would make sense once they began large *volume* production, as large(r) orders bring the per-item price down. Small numbers, however - that’s when container, import, shipping fees start to look ugly on a per unit basis. My comment was largely based upon observing sheet metal work at a place I worked at in the late eighties, as well as some small personal experience with sheet metal. The equipment in question is run-of-the-mill stuff at most HVAC shops. All one need do is change the usual galvanized steel to stainless - or, if one was a bit cheaper, just use the heavier-grade materials present!
The spec sheet says this battery is capable of 100A continuous discharge current. Looks like reality says otherwise. The worse thing about the LiFePO4 market right now is the amount of bs marketing one has to wade through to find a quality battery.
@@jehugarcia, you're probably thinking of a .223 caliber or .30 caliber ammo can as a standard .50 caliber ammo can's dimensions are....... Product Dimensions: (Length) 11 inches (480 mm) x (Width) 5.5 inches (240 mm) x (Height) 7 inches (178 mm). Whereas the dimensions of that 24v 100 Ah battery that you reviewed are, according to the website...... 466*200*180mm and so the standard .50 cal ammo can is slighty larger.
what, are you a salesman for them? Those cables don't look so good to me. I see you really like the metal case, but that doesn't automaticly mean it's very well made. Not so good after all.

μπραβο φιλε εισαι απο τα καλυτερα παιδια
I'm glad to see someone working with local companies get there name out and help with there quality
This Co isn't local, they are another Chinese Co
I am still looking for a source for a 48V battery here in Germany ... all sold out here ...
All needs 4-6 weeks to order ... that all sucks so much.
Jehu is back! Now i love your new videos, you lost me for a bit because the contents were to high tech stuff....lol. I love this type of videos
Wow! Surprising to see this on next project car.
Nice looking battery very good review I'll keep on building and save !!!!!!!
Awesome first one be perfect for keeping my landscape equipment charged up at work properly get 5day week between charge cycles
Hey Jehu, You Shoulda Left The Lid Open So You Coulda Thermal Cam The Insides For Shits & Giggles! Thanks 😁😎 PS Boats Are Mostly 24v Systems + Stainless Is Great! 👍👍
though about it, but then it might not have over heated at 100A continuous load, favorably skewing the results of test
he loves the box, I agree it is nice 😊
Jehu we need more videos 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I lived in that area (shown on the map at the beginning) from 1976 to 1986.
GREAT FIND THANK YOU
How come no one sell these boxes empty ?
I would like to build my own DIY batteries and put them in a box like this
Regards, rick
This case would need a weatherproof box to be used on tongue mounted battery tray though right?
yeah id say this is not rated for outdoor install, don't they make plastic boxes for lead acid batteries for that location?
I would love to see that case made perforated! All else is great ! ( or maybe just two holes with a fan on the one end).
So are thoughs cells still 18650s or something else?

Steel and stainless are not great conductors of heat. Plus your suggestion would heat up the batteries over time.

Can this be connected to a bluetti ac200max as a booster?
You could use ammo cans for a storage box they’re cheap and they come in different sizes I wouldn’t use a 200Dollars plastic box that’s ridiculous

can these be use as trolling motor/ boat battery too?
They're sealed so I don't see why not but you would need a 12 volt battery to matchup your 12 volt trolley motor. Not this 24 volt battery.
When you can fully boil a Kettle (900Watts) from a 12volt battery, then you have a good battery!! So' 2cupers from a 24volts would be an OK battery. Regards.
If you connect that battery to an inverter, you wouldn't want to draw more that 1200 watts. Is my math correct?
That’s 100A
Just do 12v, and be happy
Why and the hell would you have steel rail rubbing against the side of battery . LOL
Would you know if this 24V battery is communicating is compatible with Victron equipment?
Yes it is. Victron is what I've got.
What RV’s are 24v?
They have Converters in between
@@unclejack41 I’ve owned probably 20 RV’s my most recent a 2021 Keystone. I have never seen a factory 24v RV.

Do you own an ínstapot?
@@jehugarcia yes I do
Really, I can buy plastic containers for $15-25 in NZD, or 10-18USD.
Review 'comming' soon and 'batery'? Sorry I don't normally pickup these things
Looks like they still haven't figured out how to install the handles correctly.. 😉
Yeah, aren't they upside down?
You are correct they are upside down
Its not upside down , these bend if put up the other way
@@chrisward5626 was wondering if they could take the weight if installed correctly...
@@jehugarcia can you try holding the box upside down to see if the handles will fail if they were installed the other way?
You should ask them where they got the metal box.
They might well be making them themselves. It does not take *that* much in the way of equipment to make that kind of a box.

Did anyone mention that the handle are upside down? They spring in the wrong direction if you want the posts to be on the top side. Nice battery!
First sight: wow, looks cool!
Second one: why they make it so this and that awkward and unsafe?
That 24 volt battery is over $1000??? Good deal????
Look like the SOK 24
The spec sheet says this battery is capable of 100A continuous discharge current. Looks like reality says otherwise. The worse thing about the LiFePO4 market right now is the amount of bs marketing one has to wade through to find a quality battery.
this battery is a big fail !
Looks a lot like SOK
Nice battery!
I love your channel but I'm unsubscribing from all Patreon supporting channels. For blocking Come Back Alive campaign. Good luck.
I’ve no idea what that means. I’m not Patreon nor do I have any control of what they do.
What your seeing is a SOK battery in a very nice stainless steel case. Check out SOK reviews and Current Connects website . Can't go wrong .
RVs are mostly 12V, golf carts are mostly 36V. This battery is expensive compared to the competition.
Is there no 24v RVs?
Wtf, $200 to $300 for just the case? Seriously?!? Why not just use a 50 cal ammo can? They're $20 on ebay.
I’ve use them to build diy batteries, but they are too small, definitely cannot fit 2.5kwh in them

thats alot of BS. ITS TOO EXPENSIVE. You can do alot better eith a GYL battery 5kwh 48 vdc $1500.00
That’s a different product, I’ll review the 48v rack mount battery next for a more apples to apples comparison next
The comparable jakiper is actually slightly cheaper than the Gyll
Really expensive.
