  • We are testing the brand new Jakiper 'Jaki' 51.2V/230Ah server rack battery in all details. Safety features, built and design quality, BMS and cabling, settings and parameters, full charge and discharge test, IR check and much more. At the beginning of my test series, I found some concerning points with this battery. Jaki's tech support could quickly help and answered all my questions within a few hours.
    We also have a look at the 200A Pace BMS and the settings. I show you how to connect the battery to the Victron system and how to parallel it with another Jakiper batteyr with different capacity and BMS. Kinderleicht!
    I am, once again, impressed by the Jakiper battery. It seems to tick a lot of boxes and also the BMS is easy to program and setup. For everyone who is not into DIY batteries, have a look at the link below for a great discount deal until end of July 2023.

    Flying overhead the Sunflower fields during summertime when the bright yellow orange heads are in full bloom mode is as beautiful as the fall Aspen trees. I think that the Sunflower blooms are special though, in how they maximize solar gain at its fullest as the entire crop turns their heads into the sun early at sunrise tracking the sun all the way up and over to the western sunset. Truly magnificent!

    Hi, Andy. I love following your videos. You bring so much life into an otherwise dry technical solar/battery videos. Unfortunately, we down here in Africa can only wish we could afford lithium batteries because of the cost. Most of us are stuck with flooded lead acid batteries (tubular batteries). However, it doesn't prevent me from enjoying your videos.

    You got some great videos! I bought 8 EVE 330 and 8 EVE 300 to run at 24 volt with 2 BMS. Your wiring looks wonderful compared to my wiring; hand wiring BMS and 8 mini-voltage meters to my battery banks is a task, but I do enjoy working with electronics. I did use 4 gauge cables for my batteries to connect to my buzz bars; and 2 gauge to my inverter. My solar system is 4K now that I have 12 330 watt panels. I can not use all of this power since my house uses less than 10K a day, but I set it up for overkill and cloudy days and during the winter. Wonderful work you do on your channel!

    Hi Andy, Thanks you for all your great videos. Very informative and fun to watch.
    I Bought 2 of these batteries, changes settings in the BMS based on your recommandations (OVP 3,65 - OVP Package 58,4 - Balance threshold 3,45 - Full Pack Voltage 55,2, etc.) In Inverter protocol field No choice only Paceic. I fully charged the two batteries, connect hem together and finally connect communication cable to my GX device. My curb showa them as Pylontech batteries and the parameters are: CVL: 57,60V (Pack OV Alarm) and both CCL and DCL are at 390A (No idea where it comes from). I download the Gobel power BMS to be able to change the Inverter CAN protocol to Victron. Reboot my GX Device after and the only thing that change is the Battery name from Pylontech to Victron. All the parameters stay the same. What I did wrong?

    • @Gillies2201

      After few days of testing I can confirm that in version 2.03 of the software PACE changes the fields linked to Victron CVL, CCL and DCL settings for the following:
      CVL: Pack OV Alarm (V)
      CCL: Chg OC Alarm minus 10A (x n with multiple batteries)
      DCL: DSG OC Alarm minus 10A (x n with multiple batteries)

So far we have needed the grid for 7 hours in the last 7 days and that was due a couple of rainy days back to back. The Growatt 12k seems to be working very well.

    Good job, great review Andy, looks like the new Jakiper has smashed it out of the park in nearly all the boxes.
    A B/T app would make it great & so much more user friendly for the average Joe to be able to interact & understand what’s going on in there as a complete off the shelf battery.
    While it’s hard to fault the charge & balancing test you did as it balanced fairly perfectly for its 1st time, it would be nice to see these new batteries come out with an external active balancing port as a plug n play option, if not one built into it.
    Some have commented on the price, but when u consider the off the shelf bundled features, safety & simplicity this adds quickly to any off grid type system most average tinkerers are successfully capable of doing in a short time frame, coupled with all the extra gear we need to buy & wait for to build a battery like this in Australia, it is probably good money spent. Cry once. Cheers

    • @OffGridGarageAustralia
      @OffGridGarageAustralia  Рік тому

      I also thought, the price is too high but as you said considering all the material they used, case, flexible busbars, DC circuit breaker, BMS, ... it's actually pretty reasonable. And you get your 10yrs warranty on top, so...
      Some also cannot build their own batteries and are looking for alternatives.

  • @fvee73
    @fvee73 Рік тому +1

    Gday Andy, my order of 4 Jaki 230Ah has arrived. All had 3.70v in the cell voltage charge setting. The top balancing is working really well with less than 5mV between cells most times. I did lift the lid on one of the batteries and noticed 2x 4AWG cables on the +ve terminal also. The only issue that Ive had so far is the quality of the side lifting hadles is a bit average for the weight.
    I lifted them into position with a block-n-tackle. I'll add a photo later. Using them with a Growatt 12kW inverter down here in Vic Au. 😊 not as sunny as Qld but it is what it is... !

The bad cells rendered the capacity down to just 150AH

    Wire crosssection depends:
    Current
    Cable length
    Acceptable voltage drop
    A 16mm2 is capable of 63A, but that's meant for a cable of 50m or even more and 230V tension with less than 4% voltage drop.
    Regarding your concerns: The shorter the cable, the more current it can handle. The lower the voltage, the more percentage of voltage drop will be produced. Thicker is better, but copper is expensive. Voltage drop on the 16mm2 in your battery produces a voltage drop of 0,1V (0.2%) at 200A and a power loss of 20W over the cable. As you are not constantly pulling 11kW, numbers will decrease, in my opinion cable size is acceptable.

    • @OffGridGarageAustralia
      @OffGridGarageAustralia  Рік тому

      Correct, the voltage drop is essential and tells us which cable size we can use. The shorter the better.
      For our battery installation, the 3% or 4% rule does not really apply But I was trying to keep my cables under 2% for all my installations

    search for the video Für wen ist sie gedacht? Sunflower
    and start watching from second 45 and then you have at least a nice , funny to watch 5 second video snippet to show of a flower - just out of curiosity .
    Might be usefull for whom ever but a nice idea to explain flowers and tracking. Has been on the munich solar fair and was quite impressing in reality even though terrible expansive.
    But a nice version to bring kids and adults to think twice . I had seen something similiar in an outdoor bar to generate power and this time spend shadow for the guests.
    Great idea - but partly useable cause the owner complained that he had messed it up when he had instantly bought 3 or 5 of these cause he had forgotten that a moving sun and tracking solar panels would result in a moving shadow which then will cause a traffice jam after chain reaction when guests are moving their chairs and tables .
    He is calling it a stupid mistake in his business case cause it requires a lot more space or a specfically fitted table setup of round half tables that are connectted so that the guests can not start moving the tables. But he had ran out of money and will to invest more as he had said.

    It's a great battery but in this decade, i wish they would make the RS-232 a USB-A rather than RJ-45.
    For the M2M connections of the CAN and RS-485, that's totally understandable because it will be talking a common language, but I see the RS-232 being for computer communication, so it should probably use a modern interface.
    On the Pro version it would be nice to have Ethernet with SNMP and MQTT for monitoring.

    Andy I was wondering what you observed with the two batteries together and how the bms coordinate to keep close to the same voltage by adjusting some current ( I think that is the Smart part of bms ?) Too bad you couldnt get an off the shelf battery to see how balanced those cells are .

    • @OffGridGarageAustralia
      @OffGridGarageAustralia  Рік тому +1

      I'll show this in one of the next videos. Both batteries have a current limiter which will kick in if the current goes larger than overcurrent protection. It limits the current to 20A then. More to come...

      Bluetooth is not a separate module in the Seplos, it is integrated in the display or in the BMS PCB, depending on the version of BMS.

      Do you put three batteries in parallel and 16 of these packs in series? Would be one battery with one BMS.
      Do you have three separate rows of 16 batteries in series and you parallel these rows? That would mean 3 separate batteries and each needs its own BMS.
      The second method, although more effort and more expensive, is the preferred way because you will have all cells monitored individually. It is safer to do it that way. It also provides redundancy if one pack fails, two are still working.

    If they do - a suggestion to make to them is to "grey out" (instead of standard black) any settings that are unticked. So you can easily see by viewing the screen which groups are on or off and avoid having the issue you were trying to work out with them.
    Should be a very simple software fix if they are the creators of the software.
