Making your own battery pack using LifePo4 cells might sound complicated, but it's not. I had the same worries about high costs and importing issues, and I even had a bad experience with a 18650 battery cell exploding. But after doing many research and learning about the benefits of LifePo4 cells, I felt it was time to give it a try.
Moreover, with my online research I found out that LifePo4 batteries are safer than other types because they have strong bonds that prevent them from overheating and causing fires. To make things even safer, I decided to use a steel box for the batteries, even though many people use wooden boxes.
In the video, I share tips on how to pick the right cells and BMS for your battery pack. I also talk about things like Top balancing the cells and using battery compression, which might sound complex, but I have done my best to explain it in a simple way.
I want you to do it right and be safe, so I didn't speed up the video like others which you can find online I am not saying those are bad but if you don’t know the basics of what you are doing then it could be hard to follow. Instead, I'm taking the time to explain everything step by step. Your battery pack will be in your house for a long time, so it needs to be safe and reliable. Use good materials to make sure of that.
Watch the video as many times as you need to understand everything verywell before starting the project and dont endup there watch others videos as well and take whats important and design your own battery enclosure. I should also mention that I was really inspired by the channel- OffGridGarage. The information shared and how it is delivered is amazing.
