    18650 Battery Store

    The document they sent me is what EVE has published for their Overall Standard on the cell type. According to the 18650 Battery Store website, they state if you request the test data they will send it out. I did this but received the other document I just described. GB/T 36276-2018 (National...

    18650 Battery Store

    They sent the overall data sheet on cells to me but no individual test data. I think the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing over at the 18650 Battery Store. Nothing nefarious, just someone inexperienced or careless working there. I will report back on the quality of the cells...

    18650 Battery Store

    I ordered 18 LF280K cells from 18650 on April 5th, 2024, paid in full ($1,889.32) incl. shipping. I've heard from them twice via email. Once to provide a data sheet for the cells and a second to respond why my cells have not shipped. I was told that they would look into this and prioritize the...

    Eclipse 2024

    Some observations on wildlife. I live in a forest with a wetland nearby. Just before totality, frogs in the wetland started to croak. Bats from tge forest began to fly and a Barred owl hooted. My chickens hid under solar panels until my family came out and they stood next to us. No wind, deathly...

    JK BT 8S-20S 120A 0.6A CAN communication with EG4 3000EHV 48

    Is there anyone who has successfully connected a JK BT 8S-20S 120A 0.6A CAN BMS to an EG4 3000EHV 48 scc/inverter out there? If so, could you please educate me on how you did this?

    New LF105 cells seem to have a sudden drop in capacity, bad cells? Something else?

    100% with Chris30559. DO NOT connect JK Bms test leads to the bus bars, you WILL get wacky readings. I had the same problem as Chris and once I connected the test leads of the BMS directly to the terminal screws all my "bad" and "great" cells went away. My active balance could keep up and...

    A123 3.2V 50AH LiFePO4 Pouch Battery Cell

    Does anyone know where to buy these in the United States? Could use the help. Looking for: A123 3.2V 50AH LiFePO4 Pouch Battery Cell
  15. A

    Need help on Pouch cells to recover battery and its overall bank.

    Yes. I did this exactly. The two cells are held in place by a square plastic frame. The frame has two pairs of brass screw insets at the top to which the cell packs are held in place by their respective + & - tabs. These tabs rest atop of each other and have holes to allow screws to pass. The...
