      @@tobiasfunke It's actually 20s7p - and it's for an ebike. I'm building a custom 3D printed trapezoidal case... so it's kinda difficult to measure. I''ll say if you're planning to do 20s6p for a skateboard that would probably be way too big. Looking at 21700 cell holders.. they're 22.5mm long each. so ur battery would be like (22.5 x 20) mm long and (22.5 x 6) mm wide. Like 7in by 18in after you insulate it probably, and bigger if you plan on having a waterproof container. I guess you could always double stack it. Mine's going on an ebike in the frame so size isn't really a concern

    Hi Pavel , very well filmed and instructive video , lot of thanks!!
    I already builded some DIY Lithium packs for old NICD power drills, E-bikes , and also motorcycles (lifepo4 with high amps).
    But actually it's more and more difficult , sometimes impossible to do that , simply because generic BMS are no more accepted by the engines , I think essentially for commercial reasons : Each society builds its own BMS with specific communication with the motor controller and also with the charger. And if I simply want to change the cells, the necessary disconnection of the BMS "locks" it definitively.
    For example with my E_bike (Panasonic system) I can add a second DIY battery in // (more capacity and discharge amps) but I need absolutely the Pana-battery to run, the same with Dyson vacuum cordless packs etc...We are prisoners of the manufacturers...For my car I can choose any battery without issue, but not here!
    I fear we will have more and more problems in the future with Lithium batteries if all these legal "robberies" are not forbidden. I say "robbery" because these schemes are absolutely not necessary for a good protection of the cells : A BMS like yours in the video is perfect.
    Friendly from France, Michel.

    Well, I am going to be binge watching your stuff, because I want to probably build my own battery. People complain about the more affordable Chinese batteries are just "meh" and not so great. And let's face it, they are not likely using quality cells, like Samsung or LG. So that's probably why many CZcamsrs who do e-stuff like e-sk8boards, e-bikes and solar generator battery systems prefer building them and recommend against the cheap ones. And with the price of premade "good" ones and lithium demand now, it's so expensive. So building your own just makes good sense, but it's just so daunting, for newbies like me doing a DIY (even though I DIY a lot of other stuff). There's soooo much to learn and I've never been good at electrical or understanding it. Thank goodness for people like you, who are.

    Hey, very informative video. You can edit it on CZcams settings to add chapters instead of timestamps at the beginning. And why connecting BMS tabs to positives when they are connected to next series negatives? Just spot weld BMS tabs to negatives and first positive, less risk of shorting and no need to secure each tab except only one positive.

    I have a tip I use when stripping insulation off large silicone cables
    Strip Back 6mm or so of end insulation
    solder loose end up allow some of the solder to run in cable just a little
    Cut exposed wire off level with insulation
    strip silicone insulation back amount required
    where you soldered inside insulation now will not fray and willbe a lot easier to handle
    cable will be like a shoe lace

    Pavel, awesome tutorial and awesome content. I have a question in regards to the BMS. Will the BMS constantly draw current from the battery when connected? If the battery is put into storage for a few months, and the battery is at storage voltage, will the BMS continue to discharge the battery pack to 0V? If it does, have you thought of a way to disconnect the BMS when storing the battery for a few months or weeks?

    • @PavelGarmas
      @PavelGarmas  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi mate,
      Yes, BMS will consume electricity from the battery however it is minimal. I do normally leave the battery at 3.8 volt per cell and a few month of storage is not an issue. There is an option of static balancing and that does drain the battery much faster.

    excellent video. You answered some key questions that I had. Also,Quick question- I have parts on the way for my first build. . I need to power a 24v 350watt motor 18amps. My plan is to build 6p-8s with 18650 cells that are 3150mah. My math says it will be 29.6 volts and 18.9 amps. I will be useing a cheap 8s bms 60amp. Will this work? and will this be enough for 2 hours run time.

    • @Michel-Artois
      @Michel-Artois Před rokem

      With 8S you have a maximal voltage of 33,2V (4,2V x 8) , it's too much. More power , but can the motor accept it? For 24V , 6S (=25,2V) is good....and with 6P you will have much more than 18,9A, except if you use computer cells (not the best for a motor) with 5A x 6P = 30A. For a motor , cells with low amperage are not the best because the internal resistance is higher and it's not good if the motor drains sometimes more amps against resistance...but with 6P it will run . A lot of E-bikes batteries have not more than 5A/cell...if they have minimum 4P .
      It depends on the type and the use of your motor.

  • @liebie999
    @liebie999 Před rokem +1

    Great video, some good very ideas. You said you weren't sure about how much nickel you should use, as a ball park you should have 0.15mm² nickel/amp. In your configuration I would guess that the strip is about 140mm long therefore, 140x0.2=28mm², 28/0.15=187A. So you didn't need to double up but as you said it doesn't do any harm.

I have the same make of BMS with 2 blue and 2 black wires 52V 60A. I know you have removed one of the blue and one of the black wires as you do not use the BMS for discharge monitoring in your pack. For my eBike I do want to to have this feature. I can see each cable is labelled 10AWG. My question is about how I should wire the BMS - should I run one of the black C- wires to the charge -ve and the other black C- to the discharge -ve or do I join both black C- wires together and join them to an XT90 -ve and use the one XT90 for discharge and charging? Thanks for your help but I haven't been able to find an answer to this on searching the web of the manufacturers site.

      @@PavelGarmas Thanks for the reply. This BMS, and the one you use in this video, does not have a P-ve. There are only 2 C- cables (black) and 2 B- cables (blue). Is the reason there are 2 black C- cables because the each cable can only handle 1/2 the BMS discharge current or because on black cable is for the charge -ve and the other for the discharge -ve?

This is a budget build, so could i buy a bms only for charging and balancing? I would be bypassing the discharge,( which doesn't seem to hard). bypassing the discharge will be more dangerous for my long term battery, i believe.

    • @PavelGarmas
      @PavelGarmas  Před rokem +1

      Hi mate,
      For straters, make sure that you use motors that are rated to the voltage you are planning to build a battery to. I do always by-pass bms on discharge and let esc do this part so yes, you can get the lowest Amp bms and use it for charge only. Higher voltage set up will not require as high Amps so if you use 0.2 thick nickel you should be fine.

      Charge the battery full and test voltage of each P lines. Add the total : if you really have 48V with all P...and only 42V on the two main wires , the BMS is faulty. If you have only 42V when add all P, you have one P with issue (but you will see it by testing) .
      And with ignition and drop to 0V : 2 options :
      -One P is faulty, (cells issue) voltage too low and the BMS stops the current for protection
      -all P are good , but a faulty BMS can do that : when switched on, it stops the negative current output (which runs across the BMS ; the positive runs direct from the battery to the motor controller)
      So first of all control the voltage of each P line.

    Pavel: Have you ever considered putting an in-line fuse into the battery circuit to protect from short-circuit condition, or perhaps something leading to thermal runaway? I don't seem to find anyone fusing these batteries anywhere. Not sure why. I'm wondering if you can install an ANL fuse rated for ... say 100 amps. Obviously, don't want it blowing (ever) but it would be some form of protection if something goes bad. This would be the same type of fuse that is used in the kweld battery welder. Seems that there are ANL fuse holders out there to isolate the fuse. Also, wondering if you have considered fusing the "charge" circuit leading to the BMS ... say an in-line 10 amp fuse, but would need to be rated for the higher voltages (50.4 volts in a 12S config). Anyways, just a thought if you have an opinion on it.

    • @PavelGarmas
      @PavelGarmas  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi mate,
      I know some good battery builders and some do use the fuses. My opinion is tat having the fuse blow when you are riding and loosing the breaks is worse than having a chance to stop even if the board catches fire. I do always monitor my batteries when charging and have fire alarm heads installed around the garage... I will try to make a video on this mate. Are you on my FB group ESK8FREEDOM?

I get what you're saying about losing brakes in the event of a fuse blowing, but what if the fuse was sized large enough that it would basically never reach the point of failing unless there was a catastrophic battery failure? I would think that there is a point where a rider is free from risk of brake loss versus protecting the board from a complete lithium battery meltdown. No?
