I would have taken the weight of the cell into account if I found that they used nickle coated Steele. 18650 should be 18 mm x65 mm and have a weight of between 41 and 45 grams obviously the heavier the cell the more the capacity. also if you had pealed a cell cap you could have checked for a protection circuit and venting in the top of the battery. This is another strong indicator as to the quality of the battery and lastly hook the battery up and check its discharge rate. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I have learned so much by watching your videos. You have brought so much useful information and done so much for us guys that hack around at home. Have a great day and please keep making lots of videos. As far as the length of the video goes the longer the more information.

Thanks! As someone intending to build a custom battery housing (and then have someone better informed solder and wrap the cells) this was very useful. One note: you say the cells are going to get really hot when discharging at the highest rate. However, the 2C reading is rated for -20C...0C. If we're like -10C, overheating is not going to be the first and foremost problem unless you really somehow manage to keep the max load on on continuous basis. On subzero temps it's usually different things than overheating that dominate the risks.

Hi Micah, as usual excellent and very informative video, thanks! The only thing I miss is that the cells are SUPPOSED to be 2500mAh from the technical sheet but this should be checked to really know if this is a good quality battery. It would have been nice if you had been able to charge/discharge 1 cell and see if we are close to theoretical specs (or not...)

It was a fight getting it out! I removed it very carefully without pinching any wires. Just waiting for my money to come in so I can order a couple parts.

At about 6.25, remember that the max current is quickly derated based on the temperature INSIDE the CELL...not the temperature in the case or general environment. So in most cases if one tries to take it up to the max current without derating for the cell's internal temperature one would quickly have a possible explosion, fire, and/or other catastrophic cell failure.

The electrical resistance of Nickel is about 70% of that of Iron, so the difference isn't very big. There are plenty of cross sections between cells in series, so it wouldn't be a problem at all. You could have actually measured the width and the thickness of the strips and do some calculations instead of using words like 'I guess' and 'probably'. The point that worries me is the (dual layer) strips of the first and last row. Furthermore, you didn't measure the capacity of the cells. You went for the datasheet. If there is one thing you cannot trust it's the specs of Chinese cells. They are sold to up to 9999 mAh which is nearly 3 times of what is even possible at the moment. Most of them perform way below their (fake) specs.

@exgenica 4 жыл бұрын
I'd run an electrical test first. Could save a lot of my time. At the end of the video you still don't know if the battery pack can in fact deliver the advertised Ah. In addition to the visual inspection, I'd have to use a battery tester before concluding it could be a quality battery. A "constant current" battery tester for up to 200V and upto 180W total dissipation is available for less than US$40 and can rapidly give you pretty good insight into the Ah the battery can deliver in reality...not just as claimed by the seller. I'd run the electrical test first. It's a fast, easy and definitive way to tell if the battery is even capable of delivering anything near its claimed specs. It may take 3 or 4 charge/discharge cycles. Only then, if it passes that testing would I worry about taking it apart for visual examination of build and component quality. Running the electrical test first could save a LOT of my time if the battery is low quality, and it generally should be safer, too. BATTERY PACK PERFORMANCE ISSUES: There are batteries out there that use counterfeit lithium cells, or even intentionally low-quality cells, so even if they are marked like they came from one of the known high-quality manufactures (Samsung, Panasonic, etc ####mAh rated cells) the cells themselves may in fact not be from that company nor provide the claimed mAh rating. Even the battery pack manufacturers may unintentionally get counterfeit cells once in awhile which can cause major underperformance. These are common issues for example in USB powerbanks. Example: one powerbank brand CLAIMS 10,000Ah capacity while using what turn out to really be 800mAh cells in a 6p1s 18650 configuration...which could at MOST rightly claim 6x800mAh=4800mAh (yet they are LABELED as 1800mAh NCR/Sanyo/Panasonic cells which they clearly are not)The same issues exists in many battery packs for many different uses (including e-bike packs) available on eBay and Amazon.

Yep exactly I seen so many falsely advertised and using junk, or fake cells. I finally got one that was as advertised and using LG IMR 18650 cells 2850mAH and tested on discharge pretty close, or slightly above, so definitely genuine and was cheaper then this pack in this video. I was actually surprised as was expecting Chinese FST cells, or one of the 3 common Chinese cells they use. A few packs even have had where BMS was miswired on discharge side and literally could drain battery down to zero as they bypassed the low voltage cutoff on the BMS? Don’t get me started on those packs claiming to have Panasonic cells using Sanyo and not the GA cells, so technically not Panasonic, or not even using neither and lying completely and charging $400 plus for the pack. I guess they figured out most won’t open the pack?

This battery is of medium quality and is exactly the type of battery I have on my ebike right down to the voltage and amp hours. My battery is weakening after only 2 years. I have a 500 watt motor on mine so should I be shopping for something like a lg battery? If that battery in your video retails at $299 something tells me a premium replacement is gonna be in the $500 range. Which route do you suggest I go. Heck I only paid 700 for my whole bike and the replacement battery will almost be as much lol.

One other thing that I would like to mention: the battery casing is black, which will undoubtedly heat up in the sun, and build up heat inside the battery which is definitely not good for the cells. Especially since there isn't any temperature probe inside. Why do bike accessories manufacturers insist on making them black is beyond me? Black water bottles, black seats, black handles, etc. All of these become very hot in direct sunlight in the summer!

That's an excellent review! You examined every important points including common CONS that cheap battery have. Btw, sometime when a parallel group have the main positive or negative wire soldered to one end of a parallel group, there chance that the opposite polarity have a serie link to the other end, which conpensate for current balance.. but in that design where serie parallel connections are in majority in "W" there is les chances. Also i would have been curious to see if teh ON/Off switch is connected to the BMS SW1 input.. usually located close to the external temp sensor connections... in fact BMS with switch input and temp sensor are usually input that are connected in serie.. and when there is no external switch used, the connections on teh PCBare simply jumped together to close the loop and enable the BMS FETS.

Please do a proper build and review as if you yourself were going to use an Ego 56v or Toro or Dewalt 60v using the adapters and harnesses now available. Why did the ebike world SETTLE on a tightly packed black brick with no passive thermal management for the defacto battery pack? I would like to see what an Ego 56v 10AH battery would do against a 48 or 52 volt name brand ebike brick battery in terms of range, top speed, cell temperatures, and Warranty. I am newly subscribed after 20 years of not being in ebikes. My last one was 24 volt lead acid chain drive Currie. Things have changed, but whey are we stuffing so many cells in a tight space? Can’t we be more creative on how to mount and design battery packs yet?

The charger voltage measure missing. Basically this need the balancer correct workink, otherwise also important to battery fully charged, but not overcharged.

Ok, I'm subscribed! I'm beginning my research with the intention of building an electric motorcycle. I know virtually nothing yet, but I was impressed with your presentation, and will be looking at more of your videos, and considering reading your books. Thanks for the quality presentation

Great review that helped a newbie like me to learn some things! Video was NOT too long...curious as to why you did not do any tests on the pack to see what it was capable of? Thanks again!
