I use 16S in a 48V EV JD Gator…I use it pretty rough and it’s held up well, just have to secure the heck out of it. Biggest problem is range (maybe 6 mi.), would be iffy for 18 holes of golf (but it’s also a 1100lb vehicle, way heavier than a golf cart). May be adding another set soon. Good thing is that I can charge it with my EG4 Chargeverter at 100amps so takes like 30 min to charge almost full.
Hello Jehu, I'm always impressed by your expertise. I'd like to know also how you deal with safety. Lithium batteries can be dangerous and with so many of them I'm really curious how you deal with fire hazard. Best regards
Why the recent focus on 36 volts? I've never heard of a 36v inverter - so what else would you feed with it? With so many videos on it, I have to be missing something.
There are lots of 36V inverters out there from OEM suppliers on eBay, Amazon and AliExpress and a lot of the new Victron solar charge controllers can be used in a 36V battery system as well.
Mostly golf carts and higher end trolling motors. Although most trolling motors are only pulling ~50amps, so these hi-amp draw cells may not be the best use of space.
Just drove my LEV60 powered electric ZTR for the first time the other day. Lots of wiring left, but should be ready by spring!
Nice!! 36v?
I new I've been holding off on ordering individual 12v pcbs
Not usable for my application but what a masterpiece. Thanks for the open source upload.
I like using your batterries to extend my bluetti and ecoflow items
Boat electric trolling motors use 36 volts. I have built my own for that purpose, but in Lithium Ion.
How well would those PCBs hold up in a high vibration environment? I've been looking at options for a similar application, electric tractors.
yes

@@microbiologycory10 How did you secure the cells?
@@niktak1114 they are in a marine grade plywood in Jehu’s compression kit. The Compression kit is screwed to the floor of the box.

all kinds of ways, use quality cells, use a bms, use 80% depth charge/discharge
Can this be cut to make 3 12v boards?
Yes but why? I make 12v boards
@@jehugarcia Are they back in stock?
Charging options?
They must be disposable? Definitely interested in how you charge and balance the cells if they get out of balance.
@@7null Starting at 19min, he talks about bms options.
Have these been capacity tested at 1c?

It's a common golf cart (and possibly forklift?) voltage. 72V is somewhat common too so you can put two of these in series.
