280Ah prismatic Eve LF280K Capacity test solar battery DIY

I’m using the iCharger x8 to test a 280ah eve cell. I charged it up to 3.620v and discharged down to 2.5v
The result was 276Ah (if I fully charged to 3.650v I’m sure it will have shown the full 280ah capacity)

🙂looking good

Wow 😍👍

Good test, but knowing the LifePO4 charge curve I doubt that you will get the extra 4Ah by charging from 3.62 to 3.65v. You can do a test and you'll see I'm right. New 280Ah cells should pull from 282 to 290Ah when new.

I’ll do a retest in 12 months and see the difference. The battery is fully built and in service running 80% dod

Not 280K. They'll test right around 280Ah when new.

@@niktak1114 In the past I experienced an increase in capacity from testing new to then testing 6 months after and found that they did gain capacity. I’m hopeful the same will happen to this cells

I charged to 3.62v (full is 3.65v)

You are not the first one to test under quoted capacity, on fogstar A grade 280ah. There’s a guy up in Scotland that returned his first 32 cell batch, and swapped for the B grade. So far the B grade test above 280ah on al, cells. Go figure.
