Thanks to all who have posted on this forum. It's been my go to source to try and put together this project.
Planning for a 12V system that gives me approximately 100Ah.
Tenergy 32650 cells, 80, arranged in 4s20p configuration. 3.3V with 5.5Ah per cell.
I have an iCharger 206B with RC Power P350 power source.
Ebay spot welder
Ebay battery holders
Ebay Nickel strips
Put it all together today rather quickly for an outing where I needed a portable power source.
I'm charging the individual packs tonight. 2.7A with 3.6V max
Thermal closeup, no hotspots.
Next step is to get some fuses in there, I'm thinking on each series pack, and then wire it up to balance charge with the 206B.
Having some trouble finding exactly what wiring harness I need.
Also am in the process of finding a battery monitor that will measure output and have a low voltage cutoff so I don't accidentally over-discharge the pack.
And then a case to house everything so I can pick it all up and walk out the door if needed.
Eventually would like this hooked up to my 200W solar panels but I'm looking for a good solar charge controller.
