nice review on this "cheap" battery, and yes there are a bunch of them out there. i can see by my price tracker that this unit has had a previous high price of a hundred bucks more, if they sell well from your review i wonder how long that price remains low. anyways thanks for the video. hope you enjoy your toy hauler you customized.

The price tracking is interesting on Amazon when there are multiple options for a listing. This battery is brand new so maybe it was a different option? I don't think the price will ever be going up to $300 again.

Very nice. Some kind of camper / trailer build will be one of my earliest projects when I retire (possibly late this year). Having a couple of these batteries on hand is probably a good idea. I shot this month's wad on a portable AC unit (not 12V, but only needs 700W), but next month is certainly a possibility. Another Licitti box for one might work well too.

I am planning on going off grid sometime in the near future with solar powered A/C etc. Seeing prices come down on products like this is encouraging.

Thanks for the great review. I went to buy one, but there was no provision for using the discount code there. Will check it again later to see if they've updated the site. Nice work on the trailer, BTW. Cheers.

When checking out on Amazon, you add the discount code under the promotions section. It's kinda hidden.

Thanks for the review. Do you know if that "5 yr service" is actually a 5 yr warranty or if it is just a tricky way of not telling us what the warranty actually is? Did they mention anything about that to you? Thanks.

It's a 2021 Look - Element. It was pretty barebones when I bought it used, but now it's looking better and getting some of the features I wanted haha.

I guess the main issue is confirmation that you are getting grade A cells. Ideally, when it was apart I would have wanted to fully charge battery to check the top cell voltages and then discharge to check that individual cell voltage trend towards the lower limit at the same rate showing that they all have the same Grade A capacity.

Eve, like all other cell companies, unintentionally produces some grade B cells which leak onto the market and are presented as grade A's. Many discount battery brands put true grade A cells into batteries that they send to reviewers, but use grade B's to lower costs in the batteries that they sell to regular retail customers. This is fine for light use because issues typically show up in 2-3 years, well after the warranty period, and who puts their battery through a full charge/discharge cycle every day? Recycle the battery since prices will be low enough in 3 years to replace it easily. Because the grade B's don't balance well, and have different voltage drop under load, the whole battery loses effective capacity more quickly than if it were made with grade A's. Prices are so low that I'm not saying that these cheap batteries are a bad deal; the quality batteries have to be about 70% more expensive, it seems.

I remember Will Prowse saying that some of the discount brands will vary the BMS and cells that they use over time. So while a battery bought today may have a good BMS and cells, a battery bought tomorrow may have a poor BMS and cells. I believe there was a video where he compared the contents of a battery sold a year apart and it was different.

Hi Jason another great video. I was in the market to purchase another LifePo4 100 Ah battery to use with my PECRON smart charger. I currently have a LiTime & WEIZE LifePo4's which are still a little pricey. This seems to be a good option. Jason I have one question, why when I charge these batteries at 14.6 and after the battery is fully charged. I disconnect the battery. And after a little while later, I check the battery voltage. It always between 13.4 or 13.6 is that what it's supposed to read? Thx!

One thing I see ignored on a lot of these lithium battery reviews is any mention of their limitations in cold or hot conditions. The low temperature cutoff is cool, what what does it really mean? Is it safe to still leave the battery in really cold temperatures? Would be okay sitting inside your truck or SUV interior in the winter as the house battery, waiting for the vehicle to warm up inside? Or would that damage the battery? Not everyone lives in a temperate climate. Love your channel. Thanks for everything.

@Jasonoid

I live in a high desert so I have very hot summers and very cold winters. Yes it's fine to leave the battery in cold temps, it's also fine to use / discharge the battery in cold temps. The only damage that will occur is charging LFP batteries in cold temps. That's why low temp charging protection is in place on these 👍

@@Jasonoid Honestly though if you only want a 12V battery though I think building your own battery is not a bad option if you are going to use EVE cells, because it's just 4 EVE cells in series, I suppose the only issue will be the cost of shipping on the EVE cells, because when your ordering like 16 the shipping is actually pretty cheap, that way you know what cells, BMS and wiring your getting for sure. And as long as you get EVE cells that are pre-tapped all you need are some bus bars which you can lock down with nuts, although again it's not like you are going to save much money though, but if your really that worried about getting a high quality product it's one way to guarantee it.
