That was a clean job. I learned to attach the BMS with separate Ni strip. I usually lengthen the Ladder towards the BMS. Thanks. A job well done.
Thanks so much Sree Kumar!
Thank you. Can you explain the charging and what is the optimal charger?
Would I be able to link several parallel packs and add more in future to my solar setup ?
Great video, how is that BMS holding up? I have been looking at that kind but with the price I have been wary
very nice video clearly i understand, but which charger i have to use 12vt 3amp is that enough
You can use a quick charge charger for this pack ????? Like 5A
Good morning . What is the capacity ( Mah) of the batteries they put in and how do you calculate the final Ah?
Good job mate will have a go at making one of them. What do you use for a charge source cheers
I’m doing a 3s2p 12.6v battery pack with Molicel P-28A cells and each cell is 35A and 2800mah each cell . What BMS with balance should I use , a 40A , 60A or 80A BMS with balance ?
So the 3s2p i will build will be 35A both rows 3 cell each in series and when combined in parallel it will have a total of 70A so it will peak at 140A at a max discharge rate the 3s2p battery pack , so at least i will need a 80A bms or a 100A Bms ?
Hi,
I built a 3s7p, 40a bms looks similar your bms, everything works except when I charge the pack, the charger seems always charge at constant voltage mode and the current is low, fraction of what I set it to charge at. Any ideas?
Hello, I have a question regarding this same BMS please, if I want to draw like 15-20Amps, should I use balance wires that can carry this current, or maybe is it possible to use small sense wires and in same time connect a thick wire from the main negative and positive of the battery to the discharge terminals??
EXACTLY this I have in mind right now. What did you do?
Which charge 🤔I have to use for this battery pack
With that BMS can you just plug it into any 12v charger and walk away and it will stop charging when it’s full?
Might be a dumb question but how do you charge this? What charger do i need to buy
Ive watched this over and over and the way you have the batteries it looks like its touching the pos and neg at the same time ... isnt that a direct sort on the battery
QUESTION: if you want high amperage AND capacity in a “performance” ev how difficult would it be to have a secondary battery pack that has a high cdr compared to a larger high capacity pack that you use for every day driving? Like if you put your foot down or went up a hill the higher amperage battery pack takes over when there is a higher current demand?
Looking into using a model s drive unit in a e30 bmw. Just a newbie doing internet research and throwing ideas around. In theory would like to use a large pack of Panasonic NCR18650BD cells for capacity and a smaller “turbocharger” pack of something like Sony VTC4 cells for current.
Any information or feedback or more info on anything like this or diy batteries or tips and tricks or whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time for anyone reading this!
I think what you are talking about is in whats called the hairball or controller for the motor no matter how many batteries you add if thats not modded it wont ever go faster then what its set at
Hi what do I need to build a 20ah 12 volt lithium 18650 external battery it's to run a cellular 12 volt trail camera. And to recharge it. What bms will I need. Thanks
Straight to the point in and out just like it should be.
thanks
Hey, super great video, I'm planning to build a 3S7P almost like yours here, I'm wondering which BMS is better, It'll power a Chicago power systems inverter (92708) which is rated 12V 400 watts. I don't quite understand yet if the battery capacity determines the BMS's amp rating or if it is determined by the load.
Julián Mauricio Ramírez Obando Thanks for watching! Your inverter is capable of producing about 34 A. And your battery bank average will depend on what type of battery you buy or use. 400 W divided by 12 V equals 33.3 A. The BMS is to protect the battery pack. I would suggest a 50 amp continuous balance BMS. We currently have them in stock at SolarGeni.com
@@WesThatTechGuy Does the discharge rate of the each cell have importance on what the size of the BMS current level should be?
Can you charge this pack with a PWM 12v 7a charge regulator?
hi it is possible to use 30pcs 18650 batt to BMS
What size nickel strip is suitable for a 3s6p? Thanks
Probably the most simple to understand pack I've seen!
That's because it's missing a few components. Should be 4S, and include balancing (via an upgraded BMS), as well as charging, at a minimum.
John It's not missing anything? It's a BALANCE BMS and 3s? Why should it be 3s? You can make a pack in any series one desires. Charging is as simple as connecting one to the Red + wire and the Black - wire
What is AH of this battery and max amp please tell
what gauge wire did you use
How can I charge something like this? I made 2 3s in series but when I try to balance charger it I see the charging amps are 0.
can you use and charge this battery pack at the same time by connecting to its - and + terminals. .thk you. .
Yes
enhanced vs balanced bms what's diference ?
Hi how do you charge this battery (you charging trough the main red and black wire or you add a separat charging connector) And what tipe of charger do you use to charge?Thanks
charge and output to load is on the red and black. pos to the battery and neg to the BMS
Please let me know that we can connect the adapter at the same time as well?
What adapter do you mean?
I have one of these but the 3.7v and 11.1 terminals are on the opposite end as yours. Does it matter which way we position the charger?
no as long as you configured correct.
Nice work! I've made one exactly like yours! But how do i charge it using a balance charger? I tried charging it but an error keeps saying DISCONNECT.
you cant use a balance charger get a 12.6 volt charger
what size is the nickel strip that you used here?
what voltage and current would i need to charge a 12.6 volt li-ion battery please
i used standard 18650 strip. you could do 16.6v and 1a-25a to charge this battery.
What kind tools i Need to build the battere pack ..can you name those please
What can you power with that battery?
Interesting. Keep it up. What is the ah?
Thanks for the video. I would want to connect a balance lead to the pack. Is that what the regulator you installed is for, or is that for strictly discharge regulation? Thanks.
Most of those boards have it on it already you just have to read the description of the board
its a BALANCE BMS
What charger voltage is required, 25.2V or 29.4V?
I can't seem to get a definitive answer to this, both chargers are available but what one is best ?
12.6v charged. It has been listed in the comments numerous times. It's neither of the 2 you listed. Its a 11.1v nominal and 12.6v charged. you need a 3s (12.6v) LI-ION battery charger.
very helpful, thanks for posting.
Excellent !! Please let me know for 3S10P configuration with battery ICR18650-28A the BMS How many amps should it be?
Thanks in advance and Regards
Jose
Jose, I need to know the application you're using it for? How many amps will you be drawing and charging continuous?
Good Morning !!
Actually, this configuration is for two projects, the first is as a portable starter for cars and the other is to be used as a power bank for a 12 volt mini inverter with a maximum discharge of 3 amps hours.
Once again Thanks and have a nice day
Jose
What charger are you using for that battery?
Nice instructional video.Good job. I am just learning. .I made a 4s 1p and connected to 12V 5W led light and light burnt away in one min. I did not use any bms. Then I made a 3s 1p and connected another led 12V 5w It worked but not too long. It droped the brightness. For my 4s, if I would have used a bms would have I avoid burning the bulb?
thanks kuna! the light burnt out not because of no bms but in 4s it was running at 16.8v and your light is a 12v light so the over voltage most likely made it burn out. at 3s it's 12.6v charged so will be good for a bit but will get dim as the battery drains. to run a 12v light on a 4s battery pack you will need a DC buck converter or a way to reduce the voltage from 16.8v to 12v continuous.
Wes That Tech Guy Thanks. I understand now.
is this charging for solar???
@@elyasjan5968 yes.
I am looking to make a pack that has a rather large capacity. I like the 3s config. Can multiple packs like this be connected in parallel for better storage, or would I just add more batteries to the pack? Thank you for making great quality vids!
You add more batteries
Yes, absolutely, but either way works
That was presented easier than any other video I've seen. The only thing I was confused about is how exactly to attach the BMS to the battery
why my bms 3s positive side 101 chips gets incredibly hot, hot enought
to burn fingers if you touch? I have 36 batteries connected as shows in
this video. Have tried to connect 4x 3s bms, thinking maby its to high
amps for 36 batteries, but still all 4 bms B+ side is frying hot!!! What
i did wrong and why is so hot? Dont think it should be that hot. But if
this normal, dont realy want to use BMS as i dont think it safe to use
them at that temperature! Please need help asap! Thanks
this is a cheap low power bms. Its says 100a but can really hold that continuous only for a few seconds.
Hi
Thanks for your video.
Can we use this type of battery to replace lead acid ups batteries?
If you can match the voltage to the charger inside of the UPS
@@WesThatTechGuy do you mean 12.6v?
Thanks for sharing, what's the capacity of this pack?
20ah
Make sure the bms is rated for over your packs ah. Made a pack and I'm 3ah over board rating and it causes the board to not function correctly.
Peak amps (current), not amp hours (energy capacity).
@@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt I have to disagree with that. Could be the board I have but my load is not even an amp. My pack capacity is at least 13ah. My board is a 10a and the output shuts down when load is turned on. I've tried 2 identical boards and both behave the same. I've got some 100a boards coming that will hopefully solve the issue.
Nice video keep up the good work.
thanks
Where will the battery charge from
Hello Sir, as asked in a previous question, do you know why my 3s BMS gets red hot to point of burning my fingers, all wired just as you have done, as a temp measure I have cut all nickel strips off and await your reply please? many thanks,
ian whiteley Generally if the bms gets hot and it’s new it’s because you’ve wired the positive leads wrong and then plug it in. You’ve got to be sure to get all the proper positive leads to each group of cells. test the pigtail with a volt meter at each point you should double your voltage if your voltage does not double all the way up to your required voltage then you connected wrong. If that is all correct and still getting hot you probably have a bms issue. Is it hot when you just plug it in or does it get hot after you ran a load through it?
@@WesThatTechGuy Very many thanks, now sorted,
@@ianwhiteley964 You're welcome.
awesome....thank you for this tutorial video. you made simple and thats what i like.
Glad you like it and thanks for watching?
Great work
Thanks
Keep up the good work and your are a very patience person to help out everyone in the comment section. Maybe a lithium book on how to build batteries would greatly help other people understand lithium batteries a little better. Best purchase it made since trying to understand and learn about dc voltage amperage and capacity. Plus i don't like to read but have a great understanding of ac voltage from doing hvac work for 15 years now. Keep up the good work you are a great teacher

does the bms board thing balance charge the cells?
yes it does

sir gd noon csn i make 3s,10p of 12v using 25amp bms?, t.y.
sir what amps and voltage your build in that video? thanks
200a, 20ah and 12.6v
Can I get a list to build 12v battery
Thank you very good video step by step . Please can you make a video how to solar charge.
nice video man
can i ask you where do you get the cell holders?
thanks in advance
Those can be found on Amazon, eBay and many other places. Just search 18650 battery holder
@@WesThatTechGuy Okay thanks man very appreciated
Sir Can I charge it with 15v 2A ac adapter, or I must have 12,6 2_3A
NO. you must use only 12.6v MAX with CC/CV you can use any amperage under 50a
Nice vid but how do you exactly charge this thing up?
Since it’s a 3S you use a 12v chargesr you can find it on Amazon and just be sure you get a charger that can handle the amps so what I use for my battery I built like in the video is my imax B6 mini charger.
a few questions.. I might sound being dumb..
1. Where do we supply the Input power to charge the 18650s? and How many Volts do we need to provide?
2. If the answer to my first question is "P+ and P-" then from where do we get the output power?
3. How many Amps max can we get out of this battery? What are the factors that determine the Max Current output?
you connect all pos. loads to the batteries + terminal the all the neg. loads to the BMS' - terminal. this battery can output 200a. this is done by calculating 8p x 25a = 200a
I did what I see and connected the Circuit board and on connecting it it became very hot so disconnect it now I’m stuck
Can I charge with monitor adapter 30 w 🤔
14v 2.14amp
NO! you need 12.6v charger ONLY!
if each 18650 is 2500 mah then would it not be a 6 ah battery instead of a 20 ah battery as stated ?
8P is 8 parallel , that is 8 x 2500mAh = 20Ah
Hello, I have 4 12v 10ah Lifepo4 Dakota Lithium batries wired in series which charger is best for my battries that you sell.Thanks
you would want to get our 16s lifepo4 charger. You could get by on our SolarGeni 5a S120 or our 15a C300.

How do you recharge this? I built one exactly like this and can't get my charger to accept it. Isn't it missing a balance lead?
By using 12v charger you can charge it
balance leads are directly soldered to the pack. watch closer. 12.6v CC/CV charger Li-ion only
Can I charge this battery 🔋 by 12v 2a adapter?
NO! You must use the proper lithium ion charger. Your 12V charger will over charge it and destroy it.
How to charge it Sir?
How many Amp hours does a battery like this provide?
This little guy is only 20ah
hi this battery can use fro rc ?
yea if the voltage is the same
How you charge the battery pack?
I mean rating
12.6v and up to 25a
Great
Very nice sir
thanks sir
Can I charge with ups circuit...
as long as its 12.6v and 25a or less
How many parallel 3s cells can i connect to this BMS
As many as you would like
Multiply the amp of each cell by the row. Current is the same so get the nearest amps for the bms

12v 18650 bettery help me plz give me
why make everything so permanent. what if you want to replace faulty batteries ?
Bro please make 12v 50ah battery in 32650 battery
I thought 3s packs were near useless for backup power... too low for 13.8 float, too high for inverter use... the bms will keep the pack safe I guess.
This is just one of many ways to build a battery pack in series with a BMS. You can do 4s-16s no problem and then some. Just repeat the steps from 3s to infinity etc. Also inverters are changing everyday so these things can be achieved easier now. That said in my opinion 4s is still the way to go for a 12v system rather than 3s.
It's not completely true, the 13.8V drop immediatly at 12,60V or less even with small loads, so the 12,6V of 3S battery are good.
The problem is that the commons inverters have a range from 9,5V (stop working)/10,50V(acustic signal starts) - 14.8V, so 3S is a little bit less than 14,8, but 4s are a lot more than 14,8.
The best thing to save money is a 3S battery pack, if you disable acustic signal you can use about 80-90% of battery.
The best thing for life cycles of batteries is 4S, but you need to buy more because you can charge a lot less than 100%, but discharge completely
Bang kalo 1000mah itu berapa amper dan 2000mah berapa amper Dan 3000 berapa amper mohon di jawab
those bms do not balance anything over a 1s pack i had to get seperate balncer that draws 300mah just to get a 3s5p back to balance proper
works fine on mine?
@@WesThatTechGuy it could be cos i use salvage cells but when i looked at these bards they tend to have 45ma draw for balance when i looked at balancing 300ma is more that needed for a 10ah or so pack
Soldering lithium ion cells can damage the internal separator within the cell and is not recommended
