Nice build video Clark. Even the sparky event was educational.

Thank you and please keep these type videos coming. Very much appreciated. I

Great videos Clark, thanks. I used to be an electronics tech but my shaky hands make doing stuff like that hard. Keep up the good work.

Awesome application ideas. Probably your best video in this series yet

Excellent video Clark, Very interesting!!!

Nice to see this. I did something similar for a kayak and electric trolling motor. Also added a solar charger (Victron) to keep the batteries charged on longer trips.

Well Clark you didn't let enough smoke out to trash the BMS. We all get lucky once in a while. I think anyone that works with electricity and batteries does that now and again. Heck a couple of months ago I hooked the new batteries in my motorhome up backwards, I know better but it happened. Fortunately I just blew a 50 amp fuse and nothing else. Keep the good stuff coming.

JKBms has a build in active balancer and many more features. My favorite BMS so far.

Wasn't it lucky that car horn went off just as you said that word! I have a very healthy respect for electricity, that's why I studied Mechanical Engineering.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who could be nicknamed Sparkie. I forgot to take off my watch at work one day and blew up a $4,000 PCB

Great build!

I will probably never build a battery of my own, but it is still very interesting to see a video 👍🏻 like this

Hey Clark ! Awesome n ew Li Time new battery to check out that I spotted tested on the Hobotech channel. Seems Li Time have a new range of BMS of their own, making one heck of a difference such as to the 460ah tested by Will Prowse, problem, the 460 ah isdamned heavy, where the 230 ah is very manageable. The Hobotech guy didn’t do a tear down, but with the power that thing iscapable of hand,ing, frankly a tear down looks to be a waste of time imo. Though Will Prowse does tear down the 460 ah if I remember correctly. Personally, I’ll treat these gamechanger batteries much more gently, harge at 0.15 C and discharge them much more gently as well, and the service life may be up there with what I expect from a battery. I’m thinking of getting a bank of three tbh for long term testing. Watch the Hobotech review, and I think you’ll see what I’m getting at. Best Wishes. Bob in Wales. 🙂PS. Would like a chat sometime about the design of a zone system for boat electricals, so each cabin is a zone powered by the small very efficient Victron Phoenix smart inverters that have very low standby power, such as the 385av and 500 av,powering a mains socket and USB, the Salon as a zone, Galley as a Zone, with say 1200 av inverters, and even the Cockpit as a zone, soeach zone is straightforward and logical and safe for amateurs to tackle, With all connecting safely to up to standard Off. essel and on Vessel power supply sources. Probably worth a chat with Victron tbh. Bob.👍🌟🌟🌟⛵️❤️

some of those HF cases don´t use Stainless pins on the hinges. Check and replace if needed.

Hi Clark

I like these videos

Repeat after me - Ooops! It happens and be grateful it wasn't 440 three phase or 400/800 volt DC.

The switch for the bms is typically defaulted off from the factory and can be activated in the app!
