This is me chilling out just making a battery pack. This is a really simple and crude creation! It's just 4 lithium cells in parallel. You can do any combination... Series, parallel and series-parallel. I just needed quick and simple battery pack for a project.
To do this properly, you need to consider how you're going to properly charge it, how you're going to insulate the terminals and how you're going to be sure that it's safe at all times.

But you really need a balancer if you want to charge those things on a regular basis. If you don't balance than at one point you will be over charging one of your cells so far it might catch fire.

The best and safest way would be to use a 4 x battery holder, pre wired in series. Then take the cells out and charge individually in external charger when low. Otherwise you would need a BMS. Using cells in series is not a problem, but charging in series is.

any idea how much volts/amps the tabbing wire can take, been looking everywhere to see if it worth using on a 36v ebike battery, just don`t think it will do unless i put on 3 layers or more

Nice video. I'm wondering what you made that for. I'm sure this was ok and worked fine but others watching should not ever leave the iron on the battery for more than 2-3 seconds. It's usually ok with the better brands but a single cheap battery can absolutely blow up and ruin your day (maybe more). Those unbranded Chinese batteries are notoriously flimsy (when an actual battery and not filled with sand). 1. Get a hot iron and semi-sweet cloth ready 2. Clean and lightly sand/scratch the leads of the battery 3. Tap some solder onto the battery lead, taking no more than a couple seconds. 4. Immediately turn the battery over onto the wet cloth to cool. 5. Repeat. Again, it's usually quite safe but you have to remember that these batteries are mass-produced and some poor builds sneak out even from the decent manufacturers. Chinese batteries? Forget about it haha. No more than 2 seconds and get that iron off of it.

Hi Anthony. I want to build a power pack using Two sets of $cells in series like yours, but connect the packs together in parallel to double the mAh. Once I have done this how on earth do I charge the packs back up after use?
@AntonyCartwright
@AntonyCartwright 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Kenny, if you have two of these cells in series, then to charge them, you need to apply exactly 8.4v across the pair. The same is true regardless of how many are in parallel. When you come to charge, 2 cells may draw 1a. You should multiply this by how many you have in parallellel. So if you have 2x2, it should charge at 8.4v at approx 2a. If you want to do a proper job, you need to add two more things; cell integrity checks to check the voltage of all cells. Also you need to limit current in the event of some sort of short. Antony

Is it possible to bundle enough packs to start an auto engine? And if so how do you configure end up with a cable connection big enough? Got tons of these and tab and bus. How do u weed out bad cells, won't charge by by, hold charge, how to test?
@korishan
@korishan 5 жыл бұрын
Yes you can, sort of. With standard/common Lithium Cobalt cells (which these are) it's not ideal. You can only go with 3s or 4s, and the voltage is either too low, or too high (or you can only use 70% of the capacity/amps). The best cells to use would be LiFePo cells, as they are just about a direct replacement for lead acid. In this case you'd use 3s of the LiFePo cells to make a 12V pack with a 14.6V fully charged pack. Please check out the builds over at secondlifestorage.com forum where we have lots of these projects. You can also check us out over at discord (discord.gg/c7gJ5uA) Over on the forum we go into great detail of how to weed out bad cells and how to interconnect, fuse, diagnose and configure the packs/strings for various builds.

@korishan
@korishan 5 жыл бұрын
I'm assuming you mean 12 cells together to make 48V. If so, no, not really. You need 14s because you base the voltage off the nominal of the cells. For most 18650 cells, that's 3.7V, not 4.2V. Just like lead acid, nominal is 12V and fully charged is 14.5V. 3.7 * 14 = 51.8V. These "seems" high, but if you go by lead acid values of 14.5V, then 14.5 * 4 = 58V (lithium 4.2 * 14 = 58.8V). And then for the bottem end, lead acid is about 10.4V, or 41.6V and lithium is 3.0V, or 42V. So, 14s 😉 Please check out the builds over at secondlifestorage.com forum where we have lots of these projects.

@@korishan flooded batteries don't charge to 14.5v 12.8 is usually the maximum. Sure most cars run at 14.4-15.1v but as soon as you turn it off it drops back to 12.xx. That's for flooded or AGM. That's three biggest reason why so many of us in car audio are switching to lithium because standard batteries don't help you stay above 12v at all and we want 14+. I switched from 12 sealed Batts to a 4s40p 18650 pack and now can full tilt at 15v
@korishan
@korishan 5 жыл бұрын
@@Str8GasGenetics I stand corrected. It's not 14.4 as I mentioned. Each cell in a Sealed LA is 2.25 - 2.3V. So that would equate to a 13.5 - 13.8V when fully topped off. So, the math is as follows: 13.5 * 4 = 54V for a "48V" setup If charging to 4.1V on the lithiums (to gain life cycles), then that comes to 4.1 * 14 = 57.4V. Most inverters can handle up to 58V. Bottom end would be 3.2 * 14 = 44.8V (SLA 11.5 * 4 = 46V)
