    You did a very effective pack level internal resistance measurement right there. 100A additional load resulted in an additional voltage drop across the pack (cells and interconnects) of approximately 0.3 V. R = V / I = 0.3 / 100 = 0.003 ohm for the complete pack or approximately 0.00075 ohm per cell neglecting the interconnect resistance

    Great Video. You mentioned cycle testing.... I don’t know if you’ve looked at any of the ISDT or iChargers. But they’re inexpensive and completely automate the types of tests you do on your battery reviews. I personally use the ISDT Q8 and I have an iCharger S6 that should be here tomorrow. I ordered the iCharge S6 because it does data logging and allows more in-depth customization of precharge characteristics. And the ability to add external load to increase discharge rate which is automatically figured into the logs. From what I understand. I have a Rigol DL3021 and a couple DP832’s todo automated cycle testing. But I cant afford for them to be occupied anymore for a single battery test months on end because I need them for testing other equipment on a day basis.

    I just realized that the 0.2ohm range also has a voltage listed next to it. I thought that voltage only applied to using the voltage scale. Does this mean you can't use the most sensitive ohm scale even with such a low voltage cell? The ones I've seen listed for sale online show 100V next to the most sensitive ohm scale so I'm thinking it would be fine to use the most sensitive setting.

    It doesn't look like your BMS leads go to all of the positive posts. It also appears you shortened some of them, which will change the resistance and cause them to not charge the cells equally, from my understanding. Lastly, failing to crimp ends on to the BMS leads, and squeezing bare wire between the bus bar and the battery terminal is a definite short cut. Maybe that was only done for testing?

    It's connected properly, in the correct order. Shortening the small balance wires will have a negligible or no effect on the BMS. They're short to begin with. As for the BMS wire attachment, there's not much difference between adding a crimp connector, then squashing it down at the post with a nut, or taking the copper wire, stripping the end off and wrapping it around the post between the plates and and using the plates to squash it down. Both secure. Thanks for watching

    @@electronicsNmore The BMS leads are supposed to be as follows; first cell negative, first cell positive, second cell positive, third cell positive and fourth cell positive. In your video, at the 9:15 mark, the leads are clearly connected to; first cell negative, second cell negative, third cell negative AND positive, fourth cell positive. If that is an acceptable alternative wiring method, it is one I am not acquainted with. The length of the BMS lead wires is important because they are of such a small gauge. If they are to report accurate resistance data to the BMS board, they should absolutely be the same length. That is why every single BMS lead wiring assembly includes wires of the same length. Did you shorten some of the wires in this video? The connection between bus bar and battery terminal should be flush and unimpeded by loose, unterminated wires. If you insist on taking shortcuts and not crimping a terminal onto the BMS leads, at least put the loose wires between the bus bar and the nut which holds it down, so the bus bar can make a full and solid connection to the battery terminal. Overall, your video is very good, but if you're going to present stuff like this to a large, public audience, do it correctly.

    Pretty sure only Brits, Aussies, South Africans, and Kiwis complain how Americans pronounce the word. I sugeest they find more important things to discuss.

    No guarantee that the quality will remain the same after the making of this video. They could change suppliers.

    Good luck with that. Be prepared to spend much more money buying things, and that's if you can even find them in your country. I would prefer to buy from my own country, but many things you cannot get, or the prices are much higher.
