Good work , good to see a review so direct covering all the basics. Jim
You’re videos get better and better every time! Great work explaining everything about the battery. For those of us who don’t know what could be powered by this type of battery capacity, I would suggest just adding a bit of info about it. Thanks for all you do! You rock it!🚀😃
Entertaining and informative as always. Thanks.
Recently I purchased an EcoFlow Delta 2 after using a DIY set up the last 5 years. So far the all in one systems are the way to go for me living VanLife.
Great Video! Thank you!
Awesome stuff man!
We have 2 Redodo 100 amp hour batteries Wired up to busbars and our Solar set up is 12 V we have two Victron smart charge controllers networked together a 100/50 smart c/c with 6 Renorgy 9 bus barrs 100 watt solar panels wired up in series series parallel and a 100/15 smart controller c/c with 4. 100 watt Renorgy 9 bus Barr solar panels wired in series series parallel and we are using this set up to run our full size top mount freezer Frigidaire refrigerator. Our Redodo battery’s work very good (at this time anyway) We’ve been using this set up since July/August somewhere in that area of time.The only thing that limits us is the whether,,,if we have too much cloudy or overcast days we have to put the refrigerator on grid power till the batteries charge back up other than that these batteries have been real work horses. I’m using a 12 V 1200 W Victron phoenix inverter and a Victron smart shunt. I’m thinking about adding a third charge controller with 300 or 400 W to the system for the rest of the winter months and building another Solar set up similar to the one we have now as a kind of back up and additional power. At this point we would highly recommend Redodo batteries 👍😊 I think my advice would be concerning these batteries is,,,,,,,,it’s kind of like watching a stripper,,,,,,don’t ask how it’s done just enjoy what’s coming off👍😊 💃👯♀️💃👗👙👍😊
The sense wire will work as long as the crimp is big enough, or they tighten it down enough. Was a tradie in the Australian Army did a very lot of electrical work. Great show enough it.
Solid battery good price thanks for sharing
Great video! I’m looking for a battery to run an evap cooler as well as emergency backup lighting for the house. I ordered one using the link you provided - Great price!
Not damaging the case’s? They knew you were coming! Thanks again for your work!
Yes, because now I can put it back together and actually use the battery lol
Get me one please 🙏
Great video
Nice battery. I think the 2 sided BMS FETs are charge on one side & discharge on the other.
Another great video! As a suggestion for future videos, I would like to see review of cells from different distributers from China. Building your own battery are still much cheaper than buying a prebuilt, but the risk of not getting high quality cells is still high, so a list of “trusted” sellers had been great.
Excellent... regards from Athens Greece..
wow, sub 1400 for 5kwh. So it looks like from the doc that you could put 8 of these together for a 48v 40kwh battery. Just wondering how you would incorporate that into an existing 48v system.
anyhow great review.
Do you have opinions on the side orientation of the batteries. You seemed to worry about it and I wondered about doing a side orientation for a DYI battery
thx for the vid. do you have any recomendations for a 48V battery that goes in a Hustler Zeon zero turn riding mower? It had 4 12 volt lead acid batteries wired in series. Would like to replace it with a 48V lithium with low and high temp protect
Could probably knock on the side and lay it on the solid one? The more hollow sound would be the terminals
That's a good idea. You would be able to easily tell which side has the cell bottoms due to having significantly more mass.
Yes video👍 🔋⚡🔌💡
Nice!
How do you open these without damaging the lid? Would love any tips!
BATTERY!
wow nice,
2 of those and a good 2000watt inverter are perfect for a small trailer.U won't need a electrical bill
And of course 4 200 watt solar cells
I am jealous of your eyesight young man
Thanks, I guess. It's great up close, but far away, not so much... lol
10,000 cycle during 1 hour charge/ discharge ; other companies produce about these parameters; for example available in Australia
Great...
Or as I call it: Re Doo Doo. I have a couple of the Zooms 100AH ones, seem good so far.
That's how I thought it was pronounced too lol
pity about the missing low temp protection - that did it for me
Same
Master please can you review Felicity solar lithium battery 5kw 24v for me thanks.
Hallo im from south Africa. Nice info and batri. Thanks for the video. Were can wew by it in south Africa.
my best part was @4:26
I am interested in the max discharge current. Have you tested the continuous load at 200a as well as the max 400a load at 5 seconds. I plan to have two of these 24v 200ah batteries wired in series attached to a 24v inverter and a bow thruster. Primary use is going to be an inverter with nothing above 1200W pulling. This is on a boat and I will occasionally have a 330A 24V load for 2 to 10 seconds at a time for the bow thruster. With two batteries in series I should have 400A continuous and 800A for 5 seconds available. If the BMS cuts the battery off how does it reset. I believe some BMS’s will reset in 5 seconds after the load is removed, others you have to wait quite a while and some have to have all the leads disconnected from the battery. I believe that I have a sufficient safety margin on the amp draw but am interested in actual results from an independent test.
Si le 2batterie unite in parallelo più e più con meno e meno no in serie per 25.6v 400ah e in serie diventa 51.2v 200ah ok?
I have a question for you about a bulge at the bottom of my Redodo 24v 100. Was there Eva foam at the bottom of the battery box or on the side of the battery facing down in the battery box on the 24v 200? I found another utube video where another user found a bulge. Redodo Says it's foam. But also tell me if I look inside I lose my warranty.

Why do these manufacturers still build batteries without low temp protection?
It only hurts when charging and it has to be around freezing to even matter 🤷♂️
because these cheapo BMS do not have a Micro controller. Anything that actually measures temp would require a micro-controller and ADC to read temperatures and then send signals to the fets to turn them on / off. Instead they use DUMB bms units which have no way of converting a thermal probes resistance readings into a temperature reading.
They will never change, adding a MCU would add about $15.00-$20.00/unit
@@Foxfried Also, there has been a chip shortage. If they knew they could sell way more batteries, some would change and the ones that care at all about their costumers needs may too.
@@putteslaintxtbks5166 Utter nonsense there is no chip shortage for things at 14NM process, the chip shortage you refer to is usually EUV process which is cutting edge, Plenty of FABS are abel to make UV chips.
This is an excuse people throw around to charge more or give excuses. Don't buy into this, THe shipping companies were doing the same BS, ohh no covid, shortage then companies like HOme Depot bought there own shipping vessels and MSC, Maserks, and other shipping cartels realized the gig is up and now rates are back to normal.
There is no chip shortage on the 14NM and lower process that these every day micro controllers are built on.
The Chinese simply go for the cheapest possible option to maximum profit.
GFB cells 💪💪💪💪
2:54 What's the purpose of limitation to 4 batteries for parallel ?
I couldn't really tell you... Almost all companies selling these type of batteries seem to list 4 as the max for parallel connectivity. At first I thought it had to do with short-circuit current; however, each battery would have its own BMS so I'm not sure that's the case. I don't know.
So question.. could you theoretically redo the series into parallel to make this 12v 400ah? And if so would you need a new bms?
Or would it be just as effective to use a converter?
Yes, you can wire these batteries in parallel. This is a 24V 200Ah so if you wired two in parallel you would have 24V 400Ah (not 12V). No special BMS or changes are needed for paralllel wiring.
@LithiumSolar I was leaning more to rewiring the battery itself. Perhaps it was a misprint but I found a 24v 200ah battery that was cheaper than a 12v 200ah battery and was considering taking advantage of that haha
4celle in serie più 4 celle in serie unite in parallelo yes 12.8v 400ah the new bms
Can you explain the reason behind the limit of parallel batteries? Manual states 4 max, why is this ?
That's a great question. I believe it has to do with the amount of short-circuit current a BMS can safely interrupt under a fault. That said, pretty much every battery I review states a max of 4 and I don't see how they can ALL be 4, sooo....
Could you put more than 4 in paralell if they were properly fused? i cant seem to find any data on this.
I don't see any reason why not.
@@LithiumSolar thanks for the quick reply.
Is says only up to 4 in paralell not sure why. Maybe without proper fusing the bms' can't handle it
@@lukasfromspace To be honest, I'm not sure why either. I assume it has to do with interrupt current during a short circuit fault; however, they could simply say that fusing is required for parallel wiring.
Just put a fuse on every battery, myself I prefer circuit breakers.
One unit that no one does a proper review of is the natures generator it's a great starter price and good be a great starter unit but it has improper charging parameters for sealed lead acid batteries yes it keeps the price down by using sealed lead acid batteries but if the battery would last 5 to 8 years a person on low budget can save enough money to buy a lithium unit and with proper reviews it could fix the charging parameters problem and maybe put a programmable mppt solar charge controller and windcharger controller with the ability to charge lithium just think when the sealed lead acid battery needs to be replaced it could be replaced with a lithium battery and you'd have a great unit the best thing about this unit is there sold at the big box stores so even in Canada it's a affordable price I can stretch my budget to buy a 2000 $ unit and that's with extra battery units and a 400 watt windcharger but if all the reviews say is that they work when bought nothing about having to buy new batteries every year because they are not fully charged and discharge below safe limits causing the batteries to die prematurely then they won't change if I hadn't found utube and found out the proper charging parameters for sealed lead acid batteries I'd probably bought one after all I had bought new booster packs for years for the 400 watt modified sine wave inverter so I could charge my cordless power tools and run a drill for my work I always that's how long the battery lasted so far I've got an extra year of life out of the last one I bought because when it started losing capacity I started charging it proper I had checked with the manufacturer if their charge parameters were correct and they lied and said they were since I found utube I've also found out how to change the battery in my old booster packs so I'll rebuild some of my better ones and upgrade them as well
Do you open these batteries with a heat gun??
No
Thanks for sharing. Like #648
Does the BMS have bluetooth?
Yes - the one I have does have blue teeth.
What happens if the Bms dies in this sealed baterries?
If the BMS fails inside of a sealed battery, your options would be to see if you can exchange under warranty or properly dispose of the battery (recycling).
@@LithiumSolar then sealed batteries are junk. Who knows where these vendors will be is 1 year. They keep changing names like every other year. And overall all these batteries seem to be made on the same production line. They only have sticker label. No real brands, just funny names with colorful labels. At leask sok can sell parts and you can take it apart and fix. The most sensitie part is the bms. Good luck with amazon vendors from china and warranty. Nobody buys that. Properly recicle a battery means , open up and see if cells are good and reuse with new bms. This noname brands from china that sell on amazon, feels unamerican.
@@crinabobo7412 I can't say that I disagree there... Brand names seem to be disposable in a way. From the manufacturer's perspective though, there is a lot of danger in telling the customer to open and service the battery themselves, many customers whom are not qualified to do so (ie don't know what they're doing). I guess I have mixed feelings on the matter. SOK for sure though if looking for quality and serviceability!
@@LithiumSolar I understand your position, but changing names and disolving companies ( vendor names) because none that sell on amazon are producere/ manufacturer, every other year washes away liability and warranty and these vendors are nor registed in USA, they are just seller from China that happens to have a warehouse in Los Angeles ( shipping port near). This practice is not inspire trust. I see how many are complaining on warranty. Called few vendors that sell on amazon, none has a custoner service phone line active just an email address where a guy from China in broken English trys to convice you about their 10 year warranty. A warranty without representation does not exist, this type of bussiness should not be allowed on american soil. And all these batteries from China should be heavely taxed and then things will be made here at much higher standards. I apreciate your videos, but as we know all reviewers get a percentage of sales and free products. What we will do with people that get stuck with failed batteries of 1 or 2 years old that were promised 10 years life. And I think that nobody dies from a 12 or 24 v dc battery, not even 48 v dc.
People should be warned about warranty reality of everchanging vendor names, majority on amazon. Eg4 and sok seem to be consistent, ir build yourself. The rest is just take the risk. I feel bad for the people that went ahead and bought sticker batteries and now are left with empty pocket. If ypu buy the costco Lion you are assured of 100 % warranty even in 10 years . Free return. Pay a bit more for a trusted product.
Not in my wallet at almost 2 grand.
BMS looks a little whimpy especially the heat sink but the price is better than most per kwh.
Hmmm, maybe we need to do a high-rate discharge test?
@@LithiumSolar yes would be nice to know.
Yea 200a with 400a for 5 seconds, two of these could nicely power a 48v golf cart if those specs hold.
I'll have to find more 24V loads. This inverter is the only 24V I've got and is 2400W (100A).
@@LithiumSolar You could always make a 24 volt heater lol
REDO DO
It's RED-ODO. They told me how to pronounce it.
RE-DODO
@@LithiumSolar any brand that has to tell how to pronounce their name should rethink their name. It's Reh-dough-dough.
I can't say I disagree...
Say it like you want toe
but what are the human instructions?
What instructions are you looking for?
When will they change their name again, in order to wipe out all previous warranty obligations!?
Why would you say that? Did something happen that I'm not aware of?
@@LithiumSolar Because, this is an old company trick, that has been used for decades. The company/organization almost literally just changes their name to a new one, and all their previous liabilities go away! In other words, Zoom changing their name to Redoodo!? Zoom is out of business and will no longer honor their warranties under the Redoodo name. Do you get it, it saves costs and undercuts the competition!?
@@LithiumSolar Check if you still can get a warranty fulfilled under the Zoom name, you can't, wake up and know what you are selling!?
Just speculating, but the name change could simply be due to a trademark dispute claim, perhaps brought by the Zoom videoconferencing service, or Zoom Telephonics which makes cable & DSL modems. If such trouble arose, maybe they decided it wasn't worth fighting in court
Парень ты красавчег. Спасибо. Привет из России
Don't want a rainbow battery
You don't want a rainbow battery? I don't understand. The only thing you don't like are the colors on the case?
OVERPRICED FOR NOT HAVING LOW TEMP PROTECTION OR BLUETOOTH. Still overpriced even if it did plus a heater .
You're kidding, right? What exactly do you think a 5.1kWh battery should cost??
@@LithiumSolar I agree, the battery should be 1200 for bargain status.
The 100ah 12.8v at 300 with low temp protection shipped is a better deal.
Convenient package, great capacity, but at that price it should have low temp protection, if not heating.
@@SuperVstech I guess they could offer a unit with those things added for another $200 odd.
low temp charging protection should be handled by the charger and not the battery. Battery level low-temp protection is a last resort against a dumb charger. Get a smart charger - which already has that function, so you don't need to worry about your batteries.
Where is the $80 coupon you mentioned?
Demasiado costosa
sorry to say that's not a single battery, it's multiple batteries in one
LOL
You are so far off, a battery is by definition multiple cells that are combined. A 12V lead acid consists of 6 2V cells….
