@HOBOTECH Thanks for all the info and tests you do. Have a question though. I am increasingly seeing lithium battery fires from cell phones to ebikes and electric vehicles. You seem to be the most knowledgeable on these batteries. Do you know what causes these fires? And how to prevent them? Would appreciate maybe a video on this subject or point me too an old video if you have covered this before! Thanks so much!
Link works just fine
@@ariseandshinecrafts5390i believe-though I’m not very knowledgeable about the subject in general-LFP batteries are relatively safe in comparison to the older generation, Lithium Ion. I do assume they can burn under certain circumstances, like say from piecing them or crushing them or putting them in fire... but that they don’t generally catch fire from overheating or short circuiting, like lithium ion batteries can do, which I assume are what is being used in the phones and ebikes in question .... (Now hopefully this comment will motivate someone who knows better to pipe in and correct whatever misinformation I’m spreading ; )
Seeing prior tear downs and now that the company are extending the warranty says more about the quality ✅
I don't even need one, but when you reviewed this, it made me want one. To use as extended distance on my kayak motor.
Always enjoy your reviews! Not especially concerned about teardowns; your at-your-discretion standard works.
He doesn’t do revues. He does reviews.
Pleased to see you NOT tear it down. No reason whatsoever to much it up. Great review. Thanks!
Your cut scenes are the stuff of legends. I love your geekness, it's over 9000!!! Get it!!
As always another fantastic video.
Good you posted the "Why didn't you watch" in the community tab. I actually did not see this one in my list!
Nice touch by the Red ODO people to include stickers that you can put on all kind of other stuff.
Good stuff. I appreciate your reviews.
Another great product review.
Thanks for the review!
Great review, love the kitty
Nice to meet the professional influencer！Love your very professional reviews.
Great review! I totally agree with your strategy regarding tear downs.
I bought two. That makes 13 items you recommended that I have purchased. Thanks. Godspeed.
I've been eyeing this battery... I've been looking foward to your review...and teardown. :)
I just got one of these delivered for $289. Can’t wait to use it!
Well-done review. I'm an electronics tech since I was 8 (My Father taught Navy Electronics School). I'm 82.
You cover things very completely, including many edge cases. Thanks. Keep it up, fellow bearded pumpkin.
You produce great videos, keep it up. I would like to see tear down of products
Great intro sfx!
Great review as always…. This seems like one of the best 100ah LiFePo4 you can get…!!!
Great review
Just ordered the Redodo 100ah smart Li, with your discount code w/tax $245.82 what a great deal Thanks !
In the past,.. I was hearing it pronounced "Re-Dodo! ... Thanks for the clarification and review! The ON/OFF switch built in to the battery is quite awesome. (So is the 5 year mfg warranty)
It is pronounced .. Red. (short pause) Oh dee oh
Sometimes the RUclips algorithm doesn’t like changes to format.
Good battery. I have been a strong supporter of 100ah 12v batteries but am now starting to realize this limits my battery bank to 5kw capacity. If I want to stick to a 12v system, I am contemplating the 200ah 12v batteries which can also be put 4 in parallel. That would double my capacity or allow the same capacity with less wiring. So many options.
You need to consider to NOT "stick with a 12v system".... IF at all possible, you should consider a higher voltage system; 24 - 48 volts.... The savings from the lesser cost of COPPER wire due to much lower current draw, would be more efficient AND save money - well, almost ;-)
@@ainttakenanyshit you are right. My system also charges off the engine/alternator/starter battery. Not many options in that regard.
awsome reiview
Great review on the REDO. might be the ones i go to ,,,,to finaly replace my old guy 6 volt golf cart batteries. Dont destroy the batteries , then you can bring them
to quartzite and give them away to poor people in january. Keep on reviewing Tom. thanks.
Good review
I like the tear downs on new products but i also like to see them when things change like the power queen mini battery
Teardown not necessary. Thanks for the video review.
Interesting , Thank You .
I have a 48v golf cart with eight 6V batteries in series. The golf cart batteries last 2-3 years and need to filled with distilled water annually. The replacement cost is about $1100. I am wondering if I could swap these batteries for the lead acid batteries without rewiring? The current 48v charger has a peak charge of 15amps and turns off when the batteries are fully charged. For not much more money, these batteries may be a good alternative. P.S. Forget the tear down. Your current review was perfect for the general user groups.
Dont really care about the tear down, love these redodo's!!
The main reason by a huge margin that I watch your videos is due to the tear down of these products; I can watch a plethora of videos with folks that don’t do reasons and those same folks have no clue about what they are talking about.
The tear downs are essential to me watching your channel otherwise I’ll watch the cute glamping couple in their quarter million dollar van with their trendy dog while telling me nothing I need to know.
I recently purchased this exact battery to use in my small camper. I really enjoyed your video and was wanting to ask a question if I could. When I'm storing my camper for a few months I bring the battery home. I was trying to figure out what kind of charger to use while its not in use and noticed you mentioned "long term storage" a couple of times. Do I need to keep this battery charged while I'm not using it or can I just turn it off and let it sit in my garage? Thanks for any information.
thanks
Thank you . I didn't get a lot of your notifications. Hope your staying cool.
Hi Professor. Can you do a video comparison on solar generators for use as UPS?
I thought it was "Hobotechno's" when I first watched your channel :)
Agreed, don't destroy the battery. It provides zero value.
Agreed. No need to do teardowns. Why destroy a perfectly good product. I would rather see another review after longer term use. Or simply donate to someone who is needy. Thanks Professor Hobo for all you do. And a shout-out to Oden.
@@WillProwse Will, I watch your videos as well and would be disappointed if you didn't tear-down equipment to the micron-level.
The tear down shows the size of the cables from the BMS to the lugs. I use the same size cable to connect batteries in parallel and to the charger/ inverter.
@@Krunch2020 the BMS limits current, so long as your cables can handle the theoretical top end of that, you don't need to know what's on the inside. If this were some unknown entry into the market, perhaps there's value, but this manufacturer is well known. Tearing it down is a waste of time and a good product that could be re-home to the community.
I purchased a 6ah Red odo for my Humminbird flasher for the winter ice fish season. I am hoping it works out and I heard they are very light weight and last longer. Also I heard that you do not need to leave it on the charger all the time to maintain it. Just charge and do not let go below 50 percent. I hope I am right about that.
Is the BMS in this model the sane as the 100 mini?
It's summer, a lot of people are away and not watching U-tube. could be the reason viewers were fewer. I watched and purchased one.
How you like it ?
Question: you mentioned having headroom on the inverter from battery. So are lower inverters below 1200watts bad for the setup?
Could we get a solar generator jackery one of the 300s on a Chinese diesel heater or h calorie diesel heater how long it'll run and what it would take to hook it up
How nice that they named a battery after Hobotech’s cat: Red Odin.
I need in general how to hook it up to solar inverter and all stuff
Just ordered one of the 100ah self heating models from their website yesterday for $380 BEFORE watching this video. I think I bought a good battery to replace the ancient lead acid battery that came with my truck camper.
is the dodo 🦤 battery better than the power queen?
Cool.
I bought because of teardown ❤
Hi, How fast can it charge after reaching 90 percent full ?
Stickers are critical for folks who live in the rust belt. Otherwise we cover rust spots with boring duct tape.
If you can figure out which cells are used inside (pouch, prismatic, or cylindrical) even without a teardown (don't know how, maybe vendor would provide info) that would be great. I would do anything to avoid pouch cells since most catastrophic events happen with pouch cells (although some events happen with prismatic/cylindrical - but it's much more rare).
Can I mix 1 Redodo smart battery and 2 regular Redodo 12v batteries to get 36v for my trolling motor???
If you ever want to get rid of some of your old lithium batteries, let us know
Do you know a good battery box that this battery will fit 1 battery 😊into
3K heater and or a 8K heater I would prefer an 8K h calorie and what it would take to hook it all up if you feel like doing something like that I think it would make great content i've got a lot of friends that said they would probably buy a jackery if they knew exactly how long it would run
Interesting the booklet and booklet pouch look similar to LiTime…
I had 3 12v 100ah batteries working well for 3 months. However, when I had issues, they were not responsive and changes their answer every week for the past 5 weeks.
Question for either HOBOTECH or community. Does the BMS on these batteries keep voltage constant regardless of state of charge? If so, how do I monitor battery levels?
That is my biggest complaint. All these batteries get all these glowing reviews yet none of them you can access the BMS to monitor it and know if there’s any problems going on.
Witch way should a beginner start out, 4-100amp 12 volt batts., 2-200amp 12volt batts. Or 1-24 volt 200 amp batt. Emergency power during power outage for fridge and small a/c 120 volt window unit. Thanks
Doesn't matter. Stick with 12v to start. The inverters are lighter and easier to find.
@@HOBOTECH thanks
Question; building a 48v bank. Can you use 3 non-temp batteries with one low temp as you stop gap?
You shouldn't mix and match.
I hope you can answer my question. If it stops charging at 32 and resumes charging at 41 then if the temp is 39 it will never start charging. There should be no damage. It needs to resume charging at like 35. Better BMS needed.
I wish they would make them with a see through case.
Ha, that made me think immediately of Orac in the old BBC s-f series "Blakes 7"! :D
Actually, Elefast makes one with a transparent case.
I am a newbie, would this be something I could use to replace my current AGM battery in my RV? Or do I need to so some wrangling?
It's a drop in replacement.
Dr. Hobotech - what do you think of those battery boxes that allow you to drop in a battery like this and come with an inverter and charge controller built in (I think)?
I think they are crap and you should make your own IMO.
@Hobotech…..I am very new to the topic….I do have the Bluetti EB3…..would really like to start adding power options
Have you done a video on building one ourselves? I really like the idea of something like the Licitti boxes…..but if you think they are crap I’d like to learn how to start building one.
I would like to start with a portable system like a battery box
Any help you can give would be truly appreciated
For what it’s worth….I bought my Bluetti & 3 days later we were going through Hurricane Ian! We had to rely on the EB3 to power a lamp & tv so we could watch the weather and get an idea of when the storm was passed
Thanks Hobotech
If it's a Licitti box - Avoid
Testing is good with a new battery. Is the 4000 cycle life of the battery really true? 10 years of constant use would be 3650 cycles…5 year warranty is less than half of “projected service life”….wonder if that holds true with heavy use. But the price is on par with a 100 amp/hr AGM battery. Maybe worth a try with my offgrid solar setup.
Can I use this in my Rolls Royce?
do you need to upgrade your rv charger to use this battery, or is it really plag and play/
If your charger is modern it supplies 14.4v that's all you need.
I would greatly value the tear down. I just met a day ago the review and pics in the from the buyer of another quite popular battery brand, there he got the battery with Li Polimer packages instead of LiFePO4 cells inside (sold as LiFePO4 cell, same 12V/100 Ah). It may be ok for casual use, but not for high-cycle applications like solar stations (daily charge/discharge). There is very high demand on LiFePO4 cells now, so DIY people buying batteries in retail risk to get B-class product.
LiPo would be totally obvious as it has a different voltage (3.7v) than LFP cells (3.2v). I don't see how any brand could try to trick anyone by swapping them. You wouldn't even need a tear down to know something was way off.
I wish this battery would fit in my little storage in jku. All I've found is 2 50amp
Look at my Litime mini review.

I just got their 200ah battery and it doesn't have a BMS turn-off button.
i have two dr. prepare batteries connected in paralell. also have the hub.
can you please recommend an ac inverter? 1000wattt perhaps with surge up to 2000w? sort of new to this hobby but its extremely fun. i wouldnt call it a hobby anymore as ive gone down the rabbit hole.
Hobotech.tv/amazon click inverters
@@HOBOTECH that renogy 1000watt looks like the one to get thank you!
How fast can you charge with solar? How much input can it take? And what about when you series/parallel them? Tia!
All those questions are answered in the video
@@HOBOTECH I guess I’m not as fluent as you may assume. Since their 12v batteries and you say they can safely charge at 100 amps, then is a 1200w solar array the Max for one battery?
If I combine them parallel or series does that 1200 double?
Bingo
Who will be first to build their batteries in a clear plastic housing so we don't need to have a tear down discussion? This battery in a 200ah will be a winner (not that this is not)
I wish these companies would deliver to the UK as opposed to just mainland Europe, thats what i get for living on brexit island I guess 😂
Great video though :)
The thing that surprises me the most is that even after a year of the availability of economical Chinese batteries, Dakota and Battleborn are still selling their 100AH models for over $900.😮
Assembled in America (with Chinese parts) = 3x the price.
breaks my heart to see those new batteries being opened lets limit those who get oppened. :)
I am looking for your recommendations for solar charge controller, but I can't find them?
I am looking for one for 24 volts for LiFEPO4 battery.
ruclips.net/video/HySgUYqjmo8/видео.html
Thank you that is a nice charge controller.
Can you use a 1,000 watt inverter with that battery?
You can use whatever Inverter you want but it can only pull 1280w.
REDODO DEEZ NUTZ
I just bought a 410 ah Redodo dumb battery.
With nothing hooked up, after sitting for 3 days with full charge. The victron history shows It discharged 130 watts in 36 hours. This can't be right just from sitting with anything hooked up?
You think Victron works for free?
@@HOBOTECH
The battery Sat with nothing hooked up.
After fully charging the second battery, I went back to the first battery to top it off.
The battery took in an additional 10 amps or 130 wh. Has nothing to do with Victron.
I've sent an email to Redodo. They are looking into it. I've sent them the screenshot of the history.
Now if they would put these new "smart" features on their mini battery I'd be pulling out the credit card!
Can I just drop this into the box to replace my lead acid battery in my Class B RV? I don’t have an inverter or solar. My van has an old converter. Battery is charged by 30 amp plug or while driving
Yep
@@HOBOTECH Thanks for the speedy reply.
Would love to have you wire up/ outfit my 96 PleasureWay, but I’m in SC
Do you know if anyone has a 300AH battery with these features/ safety features that I can use for coach battery drop in?
I would not do a tear down. like you said some already did it why waste more batteries.
I have watched many of your videos and I am buying the redodo batteries I have renogy AGM 12V 400amp hours with a renogy 1000 watt inverter/charger but I cant seem to remember what video you had that said something about using any charger with LiFePo4 batteries because the current inverter/charger does not support them so if I buy these batteries I don't know what settings to use to charge them.
I have 9 different settings that could be used
dial position boost V. Float V
0 charger off
1. Gel 1 14.0 13.7
2. AGM 1 14.1 13.4
3. AGM 2 14.6 13.7
4. SLA 14.4 13.6
5. Gel 2 14.4 13.8
6. FLA 14.8 13.8
7. Calcium (open) 15.1 13.6
8. Equalization 15.5 for 4 hrs
9. Not Used
I really want to buy these batteries what would you suggestion be I used based on the information that I have provided I just want to buy a $680 inverter charger from renogy just to have the proper settings to charge the redodo batteries.
👍👍👍
👍
Did Odin approve it too?
Can you put these in a car?
Sure just not as a starter battery.
I don’t need a ‘tear down’. Will does that so you don’t need to. We also don’t need the ‘will it catch fire’ test either. Just saying.
I'm Meh on teardowns .. Other channels do them so no sense in You doing them. But I will go with whatever you decide.
that's not a smart battery / smart batteries have bluetooth or an inbuilt display to show you information (SoC etc) on the battery
Glad you don't do teardowns. Yes, I do care about them but not on your channel.
Explain why. I thought my last tear down was quite informative.
I pronounce it Ree-doh-doh.
Seems like another PowerQueen / Li Time / Ampere Time clone (or whoever they are cloning it from). Even the website is completely the same, just different logo's/stickers on the product pictures, but the format of the batteries and amps and assortment are completely the same.
Good to see that after years or copying the Chinese have figured out how to make good cheap LiFePo4 batteries. Great for us.
Tear downs feel like a waste of a good product. Let the other reviewers do that, but much more than: "ah they use this component", or : this is quality" reactions you won't get anyway.
Redodo is offering that battery for $255.00
