And replicating my conservative voltage setup from an earlier test. 2757.37Wh (211.98Ah) at 150W, 14.2V charge down to 11.8V cut-off.…

That's not how it works. The batteries never go on sale by themselves.

Just did a full pull with the fan heater. I couldn't measure the capacity because of my faulty shunt, but I timed it at 2:15:10. Which…

2824.25Wh (218.15Ah) at 150W, 14.6V charge down to 10.0V cut-off. This compares to a similar test on my other pack: >2846.18Wh (219.27Ah)…

It not being C3 is a very very good thing, for people running non-DPF vehicles. There are plenty of anaemic C3 oils DPF users can run.

I caved and bought a second one for $497 using the eBay deal, which I see has expired today. I'm currently testing it with the same process…

This is so cheap its almost rude not to. I have an old 2013 S-Work Demo8 I'm downgrading into more of an enduro spec for mild downhill. I…

I don't get it either. Unless its an original pressing, I don't see the value. And in which case it would stay unplayed anyway, like my…

My age is showing, but I saw them at the first BDO in Auckland 1994. They absolutely rocked, in the mid afternoon mind you. Billy even said…

The terminals on mine look just fine.

They got warm to the touch, but not unexpectedly warm. The wires from the battery to my inverter were much warmer though. So the terminals…

Yep was around 95..97A for most of the test, and ramped up to 110A+ towards the end when voltage dropped.

I just did a full load test. I ran a fan heater off my inverter and measured off the smart shunt. I charged to 14.2V. And discharged at at…

yes I would. I think their "limitation" its just an arse covering exercise for the most part. If you look after them well and occasionally…

So anyway, I did another test. This time I used my normal conservative voltage range I use with my DIY LFP bank I run in my Sprinter camper…

Yeah its a pain doing sustained high current, every connection has to be absolutely perfect. I just realised that even when my smart shunt…

2846.18Wh (219.27Ah) at 150W, 14.6V charge down to 10.0V cut off. The BMS was still allowing 150W out when my tester self cut at 10.0V. I…

Depends, but generally not if you want it to last. These lithium packs don't like being kept at float voltages of 13.7V like AGMs etc do.…

They are pending... @Prong is currently halfway through testing at 50A.

expired? its showing $663 after APR17 code for me? E: Ahh in the cart it works.

I'm about three quarters of the way through the 150W test to BMS cutoff. Its currently at 12.99V and 150Ah, so similar to last time but…

I might just do a 150W discharge next, to 10V. I don't have a reliable way to measure consumption on anything other than that battery…

2615.34Wh (201.64Ah) at 128W 14.6-ish charge voltage, 11.5-ish-V cut off. So pretty much the same as @Prong, if you account for my botched…

Normally I would agree, Unimog owners are renowned for having deep pockets, just like boat owners :-). But this is OzBargain remember... I…

You make very good points. > I will open it up and take a look and post some pics / video. Go on, take one for the team.

I'd go along with that theory. I wonder how many they sold @349? The coupon expired pretty quickly.

IKR. I actually wanted 2 of these for my Unimog camper setup. But I only had one in my checkout tab when it expired so only got one at…

Thats a good result. Mine is still going currently at [1]968Wh (151Ah) and 12.8V. My tester doesn't have enough digits so rolls over at…

Yeah I think my hobby charger is playing up. Its still putting 2.5A into it even though the other charger is saying its charged. The…

Its around 13.7V right now. I've hooked up a 20A charger for now, sick of waiting. 20A charger has finished. So its just the hobby charger…
