Hi thanks for the video. I am curious about those cells. You mentioned is is CALB cells. If it is the CALB L160F100 cells then I am afraid the dataset that I looked up online shows only 1C continuous discharge. The form factor matches L160F100 I guess. And if the QR starts with "0B5CBC0M" then it matches with L160F100 cells that I ordered from BASEN. Can you please confirm? If the cells are only 1C then 200A continuous discharge rating is a concern.
I appreciate the thoroughness of your reviews. I presume one can find 100AH CALB cells with the same dimensions, so yes fabricating some aluminium brackets is not such a big deal and so one can feasibly replace cells in groups of two.
Another excellent video! I like the idea of connecting two of these in series, or maybe two in parallel and then those in series? Being able to output 200 amps at 24v, presuming you have the right inverter, would you give you a pretty powerful system. For a whole house system, where 48v is really where you want to be, at a minimum, these batteries wouldn't be the right choice.
As it turns out, you CAN NOT place two in parallel and then put those in series. The manufacturer states two is series, OR up to four in parallel, but no combining the two.
Its about time these batts were being made like this, I like to buy the shells and use 18650 batts to fill them out seeing thats the only available option is Australia as we have no lithium used market here accept for old laptop batteries and plus the chipping would be cheaper on the shells cos there is no LITHIUM Transport TAX on it.
Hi - Great video & I just now subscribed! I am a newbie at all of this but have a few questions that I hope you (or somebody?) can help me out with..... Would this battery and a 1000W inverter be able to power a 700W microwave? And would a 60 Hz, 1900W continuous/2350W peak gas inverter/generator be able to charge it in a reasonable period of time?? I already own the gas inverter/generator, and the stand alone 1000W inverter (but have nothing else - such as a battery, charging device, charge controller, solar panels, etc.) so that's why I stated those particular specs. I live in a very cloudy/rainy area so solar is a hit & (mostly miss) proposition.
So it’s not truly repairable by us do it yourself ers . Now if they had of used cells with 6 mm studs, that would’ve been serviceable. Nice battery otherwise. Good review. About 2 1/2 times the cost of me doing my 280 amp hour builds myself. Thank you.
Why it's limited to connect only 2 batteries in a series! There is a reason! I was able to read what are MOSFETs and TVS diodes - HY4903B6, 5BEZ (unified classification as I understand). FETs have Vds 30v, which is a limit of voltage that can be applied between Drain and Source pins without breaking to Avalance mode (conducting, kind of failure). Basically, it happens when you connect some load to a battery. So having 12*2=24v is ok, but more - failure! To keep discharge FET's Vds in safe rage of kicks back voltage/energy when BMS suddenly needs to disconnect the load (undervoltage discharge reached, overcurrent), there are 7 TVS diodes in parallel! Those diodes have Rated Standoff Voltage in 24V, which is kind of normal working conditions limit. And breaking voltage (when they should conduct to save FETs) in range of 27-29V. It means each BMS will not work as intended with 3 batteries connected in series (12*3=36v) WHEN load is connected. Because if 2 BMSes of 3 will be enabled to discharge, on 3rd BMS's FETs Vds and TVS breaking voltage will be reached, so BMS will not operate as it should be. Not sure what will happen in this case, the magic white smoke or some safety engine will pop up.
Great in-depth explanatiin.. Thanks.. I would have love to hear you say how long the 4 bulbs took to bring the bat to low volt and switch off.. Keep up the good work
The main terminals are recessed which may hinder the ability to connect multiple large 4/0 lugs for parallel battery networks for larger amp hour configurations.
You're right, can't fit a 4/0 lug on the post. I'm not sure why you would want cable that large though. If you need that many amps, batteries would be best paralleled on a larger busbar or away from the battery itself.
@@LithiumSolar I have a solar system with 6 each 12vdc 100-Ah batteries in parallel (600Ah) connected to a Victron Energy MultiPlus inverter-charger to provide 3KVA @120VAC power to my motorhome. The 4/0 was the recommended gage size. You’re correct a bus bar setup could be used (custom build), but I think the wire is easier.
I am surprised that particular JBD BMS is rated for even 2 in series, the parts are rated for 30v max. The parts they use on their 150 amp BMS are rated for 80v. It is however a very good choice for a 12v system, but not sure I want a 30 minute battery. For surge purposes it is certainly a good choice.
@Lithium Solar you can get this exact battery with a 4S at the end and without the 4S, and there's a price difference but not sure why or what the difference is.
Hi, I have been looking at a battery on amazon and asked about what cell is used they responded with this. can you tell me if this type of cell is any good and bms they speak of.. " May i ask what cell brand you use? And the bms manufacturer? Answer:Hello, thanks for interested in our items. Cell brand is CATL, BMS manufacturer is JBD.
What is max charge voltage for 38120 headway 12 packs? I have 700 amp hours or 12 packs of 32 cell with 740 amps of charge capabilities and adjustable voltage from 12v to 19v.
I'm not familiar with that particular battery. I would suggest checking and following the data sheet from the manufacturer. You can usually find them online fairly easily by googling the cell model number with "ext:pdf" at the end of the search terms.
That is **NOT** ul listed as a whole, but built from some UL listed components, especially nice among them is CALB cells. I'm curious to know who made the BMS - would be nice to incorporate the BT onto the BMS board and not have it flapping around inside the box. Would also be nice to have a gasket. Version 1.1 I guess!
JBD manufacturers the BMS as he indicated. When built into the BMS it would be relatively shielded by the heat sink. JBD does not manufacture the bluetooth module, but uses the same one for all of their products. It is just a serial port that it plugs into, feel free to design your own.
The series comment was referring to connecting multiples of these batteries together. If you need a greater voltage, you can wire 2 of them in series (but no more).
Great video, I got one to run a microwave and 120 volt power in my work van it’s on a 2500 watt 12 volt inverter it has no problem running it, I even plug in a air compressor, vacuum and a heat gun, one at a time, I keep it change with a voltage sensing isolator that turns on when the main battery is at 13.2 volt when I’m driving and feeds a DC to DC inverter that delivers 25 amps 14.5 volt, it’s a perfect setup for someone that wants to use only one battery
Actually, I really, REALLY like this battery due to the construction. No chance of solder breakage, seemingly engineered wire crossing to ensure no shorts, substantial (beefy) cabling for truly safe load carrying. $600 seems a little rich, but- new cells, well planned & beefy along with no solder 'weak points'- it has real merit! Thanks for pulling it apart.
Having been a SOK 'fanboi' for a bit- I'm switching teams and am now an official FanBoy of AO Lithium. The build quality is superior, the battery range is doubled and all I need is a 24v set-up! I have access to pure rubber strips to create a H2O tight seal, so- I could use these in a marine environment as well. Happiness IS AO Lithium batteries with a 2 string (parallel) 24v (4 battery) set-up. It'll allow max draw without fear of melt down! What's not to love?
So I have a question I'm looking to lithium swap batteries from a Chinese three-wheel vehicle. From the manufacturer it comes with lead-acid 60V45-52AH. Can I lithium swap those batteries for the AO Lithium? Lead acid is old and outdated and I want to go to lithium but I don't have the skills to completely rewire the charger and BMS for lithium. So with this battery pack be a better drop in option.
The batteries being in series, I don't see why there'd be an issue. I know they are stating that the BMS can only handle 24VDC, but the BMS would only ever see 12V, as that's where it's connected. It's not connected at the absolute ends of the whole string. So this is very confusing to me. Maybe they are only doing this to CTOA for legal reasons and actual functionality of the units. For example, you can get 1S bms pcbs for 18650's. You can put these on a string of 14 cells in series, and the 1S bms units will still function correctly as they only ever see a max of 4.2V, not 48V.
Interesting thoughts. The parts of the BMS responsible for balancing would not see the full string voltage as you stated. The FETs responsible for turning the battery on/off as a whole would indeed have the full string voltage potential flowing through. I'm not an engineer of course, so I could be wrong?
I need a Lithium battery 100Ah that also is good for starting a 35 hp boat motor. We also have a trolling motor and want only one battery for both. Some manufacturers say not to use for starting engines. How should I think?
I have been very interested in your builds and especially interested in what you think of the eve 280 AH cells you bought , are they grade A cells ?, Do they pull full capacity ? Please let me know. I tried to find an email address for you , but no such luck. Thanks .
The battery build quality is outstanding aside from no compression at all. The price is awful in my opinion. I build batteries on a small scale, and can't fantom that price point.
Looking carefully at the design of the BMS, I am not sure its a JBD. While it looks like a beautifully constructed BMS with very similar design, the 200a JBD doesn't have mounting holes on the aluminum plate (unfortunately). There are several other brands that do. It think its one of the others.
@@LithiumSolar Yes I see that now. But the 200a JBD model I have searched out on Ali Express and Alibaba doesn't have the same back plate on it. It doesn't have the mounting holes like this one does. I like this one better! Thanks for straightening me out on it... I have 2 on order and I hope they come with the mounting holes so I don't have to use some creative mounting idea.
@@LithiumSolar thanks. Bummer, so I have to look twice to check if a battery is LFP instead of Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese.... I don't want the latter in my home.
This battery looks better inside than SOK and has better performance. To me it would be worth buying two of these for a few bucks more than the 206ah SOK. Far better BMS, and the CALB cells are just about the best there is as far as I know. I think this battery is a step up. The SOK is very good, but at only 100a discharge, its usefulness is limited unless you parallel two of them. This is a big step up in my opinion.
@@LithiumSolar tYVM I'd want atleast 400 AH is this the maximum? Could you do a video on this and what it could run? I am basically interested in running a full size refrigerator, small ice chest, & a 5000 btu AC unit. Do you mean it could link three units which would be under 40 volts?
I wonder if limiting the current draw to 100 amps means it would be OK in 48V (4 in series) configuration. I don't expect the mfgr to officially support it, but it's an interesting thought.
@@LithiumSolar I checked the video again but didn’t find any email address of you so could you please let me know your email address there or by private message?
@@LithiumSolar thank you for the question. One is the depth of the thread is too short making it difficult to add multiple connectors. Another is that type of connector can be stripped out. I prefer the type of post used on a Battle Born battery. Much less chance of damaging the post.
Now, Aolithium Christmas deal from 12/08 -12/22 is comfirmed! Up To 20% off for all batteries! The 12V100ah battery will only cost 629 USD, which costed 779USD before!
@@LithiumSolar OK Good. I have 2 on order from Shenzen. Haven't had my hand on them yet. Ordered bluetooth and heating films to make a low temp battery.
I know. I was very careful with my wording. The website says it's "certified" to UL standards, so I assume it was tested somewhere, but likely not by UL and thus not UL-listed.
Well, We are certified with ISO9001/UL/CE/UKCA/UN38.3/90%DOD, approved the Bluetooth BBQ Listing, FCC ID, and CE RED certification to guarantee your using safety.
How do you call it "way over-priced"? What would you suggest is a good price for it? Most of the batteries cheaper are either lesser quality or lower specifications (thus not a valid comparison).
@@LithiumSolar These are approx six times the cost of good quality Lead Acid batteries. I would love to buy Lithium, but not at six times the cost. As others have commented, Lithium needs to come down to about $100/100ah to be competitive.
@@graemezimmer604 And how does that happen? By having enough demand that multiple suppliers can compete. Then economies of scale will drive the prices down. Early adopters pay for this process. so, please don't comment the bleeding edge techology can't compete against a process invented at least 2 centuries ago on price.
@@graemezimmer604 You are totally wrong on that. There are many excellent analysis videos explaining the clear value of the lifepo4 chemistry. Do some serious research and get with the program.
The cells cannot be oriented such that the vents are pointed downward. Whether or not they can be on the side is up to the manufacturer. Most cells are fine these days.

This battery looks better inside than SOK and has better performance. To me it would be worth buying two of these for a few bucks more than the 206ah SOK. Far better BMS, and the CALB cells are just about the best there is as far as I know. I think this battery is a step up. The SOK is very good, but at only 100a discharge, its usefulness is limited unless you parallel two of them. This is a big step up in my opinion.
I'm not sure if I understand you. Could someone. Buy two units and hook them together?
2 batteries, yes
@@LithiumSolar tYVM I'd want atleast 400 AH is this the maximum? Could you do a video on this and what it could run?
I am basically interested in running a full size refrigerator, small ice chest, & a 5000 btu AC unit.
Do you mean it could link three units which would be under 40 volts?
Super bro
Great build
Great video
😁🖖👍✌👌😎
Blootoof
I wonder if limiting the current draw to 100 amps means it would be OK in 48V (4 in series) configuration. I don't expect the mfgr to officially support it, but it's an interesting thought.
The way it was explained to me was that the transistors had a voltage limit of 40V.
Thank you for that can you tell me what the battery weight is.
23.15 pounds
Our batteries are 22-24 pounds by standard all, you can get one to weigh for a test~
@@aolithiumofficial That is really light. Packed with energy!
👍👍
hi how can I contect you for testing our battery? We have good batteries.
More interfaces for more applications
Hi. There is an email address in the video description you can use.
@@LithiumSolar I checked the video again but didn’t find any email address of you so could you please let me know your email address there or by private message?
@@LithiumSolar yes I found the email
The terminals are junk.
Can you please elaborate on why?? They seem great to me.
@@LithiumSolar thank you for the question. One is the depth of the thread is too short making it difficult to add multiple connectors. Another is that type of connector can be stripped out. I prefer the type of post used on a Battle Born battery. Much less chance of damaging the post.
What is the price???
Now, Aolithium Christmas deal from 12/08 -12/22 is comfirmed! Up To 20% off for all batteries! The 12V100ah battery will only cost 629 USD, which costed 779USD before!
599 on Amazon as a secondary source.
First! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
200 A or 100 A?
Max discharge of 100A. See updated video for specification corrections.
Are the cable lugs on the BMS m6 or m8?
M8
@@LithiumSolar OK Good. I have 2 on order from Shenzen. Haven't had my hand on them yet. Ordered bluetooth and heating films to make a low temp battery.
Claiming to meet UL standards is nothing like being UL listed. Anyone can claim anything, listing makes them prove it.
I know. I was very careful with my wording. The website says it's "certified" to UL standards, so I assume it was tested somewhere, but likely not by UL and thus not UL-listed.
Well, We are certified with ISO9001/UL/CE/UKCA/UN38.3/90%DOD, approved the Bluetooth BBQ Listing, FCC ID, and CE RED certification to guarantee your using safety.
it is way overpriced, but i will happily test a free one.lol.
How do you call it "way over-priced"? What would you suggest is a good price for it? Most of the batteries cheaper are either lesser quality or lower specifications (thus not a valid comparison).
@@LithiumSolar These are approx six times the cost of good quality Lead Acid batteries.
I would love to buy Lithium, but not at six times the cost.
As others have commented, Lithium needs to come down to about $100/100ah to be competitive.
@@graemezimmer604 And how does that happen? By having enough demand that multiple suppliers can compete. Then economies of scale will drive the prices down. Early adopters pay for this process. so, please don't comment the bleeding edge techology can't compete against a process invented at least 2 centuries ago on price.
@@graemezimmer604 LA is 50% capacity, 300% the weight and a much higher voltage sag. No thanks.
@@graemezimmer604 You are totally wrong on that. There are many excellent analysis videos explaining the clear value of the lifepo4 chemistry. Do some serious research and get with the program.
Is it bad for cells to lay on their sides?
The cells cannot be oriented such that the vents are pointed downward. Whether or not they can be on the side is up to the manufacturer. Most cells are fine these days.
