Pushing The Limits WILL Break Things! LiFePO4 Battery Overcharge Protection Limit HighTechLab 2022-03-20 | In this video, I discuss a topic going around in the SOK Battery Facebook page. A user had their Furrion MPPT solar controller go wild, which resulted in their battery being totally destroyed. The solar controller failed and provided the battery with a voltage far beyond what it was rated for. A 12v battery should never really go above 16v. The SOK batteries are advertised as having "Overcharge Protection"...But the question is, is the expectation that the protection system should still work if you connect it to a voltage an order of magnitude higher than the rating?Visit my website at Https://www.currentconnected.comFTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.

LFP Cell Compression || The What Why How & Very Important Considerations || Step-By Step Tutorial HighTechLab 2021-08-05 | Full article here: store.currentconnected.com/learning-center/lc-stor/llfp-comp/?ref=1What is Cell Compression?Cell compression is quite literally squeezing/fixturing the outer aluminum case of LFP (LiFePO4) cells to prevent delamination of the internal components. Delamination leads to a reduced lifespan of the cells, as well as additional stress on electrical terminals. Internal forces are constantly acting on a thin aluminum case that is not strong enough to resist these forces. Lack of compression leads to damage of the cells, as indicated by swelling and premature battery failure.Why Is Cell Compression Needed?With the latest technology of LFP cells, many advances have been made to increase how much energy can be stored in a given volume. Engineers in general regularly face the challenge of fitting “more” into “less”. Sometimes to accomplish such a challenging task, compromises must be made. In this case, to create more space, a thinner, less structurally integral material has been chosen. The thin aluminum case cannot withstand the internal forces exerted when the cells are charged, but the new design never expected the cells to be used on their own. The greater majority of these LiFePO4 cells on the market today are originally intended for use in Electric Vehicles (EV’s). Automakers and pack manufacturers are already designing the packs with the compression in mind, because the demands of a solidly held pack in an electric vehicle where vibration is guranteed are much more intense than a stationary solar power system. By using a single compression fixture on an entire pack as compared to many thick plastic cases, significant space and weight is saved, leading to higher capacities in the same space.When Is Cell Compression Needed?More times than not, cells will require compression. 95% of all aluminum cased LFP cells on the market require compression. While the exact wording varies, most high-quality cell manufactures will make note in their data sheets. Aluminum case batteries that do not require compression do in-fact exist, however they are rare. Asking the vendor you are purchasing the cells from is usually a good idea, however not all vendors are fully educated with regard to the engineering considerations of each and every battery and manufacturer requirements.Join the HighTechLab Discord Server! discord.gg/wZBXf4BVisit my website at Https://www.currentconnected.comFTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.

Can Lithium Crank a Heavy Duty Diesel Engine? || LILEAD Dual-Purpose Battery HighTechLab 2021-06-21 | In this video, we test out our new LILEAD LiFePO4 Starting Battery to find out if it is truly capable of the 800 Cranking Amps Rating it is given. For the test, we try it on our Ford 7.3L diesel engine since this motor requires tons of power for the glow plugs, and cranking alone! We figured it would a good match for this test - mainly to see if this battery can even crank, or outperform the current two 12v lead-acid batteries under the hood! The truck was a great test for this battery; however, it was a bit more abusive than this battery is intended to be subjected to.Join the HighTechLab Discord Server! discord.gg/wZBXf4BVisit my website at currentconnected.comFTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.

AIMS Power 1250w Inverter Charger | 300A Fuse Blown, Wont Power On, Then STARTS WORKING FINE??? HighTechLab 2021-05-03 | It's quite strange, the fuse in our BigBatter 12v owl blew, which is a 300A fuse that we have put under heavy loads before without issues.Maybe there is something to be learned, maybe since I haven't had my coffee I'm missing everything. Also when dealing with Aims, I plan to share my experience working with them.I have a 1250w inverter/charger from AIMS Power that I've been using for some time with a BigBattery 170ah owl. The use case is as a UPS for my desk, which is two computers, printers, and other small doo-dads. Max load is probably around 600w, but the rest of the time around 200-300w. I like this inverter because it has an IEC input connector (the same type of connector things like computer power supplies use) and then a GFI output. Literally all I had to do was connect up the Anderson connector from the battery to the inverter, plug a few cables in, and then we were good to go.It should give me about 3-4 hours of backup power in case I am doing some work in a panel and need to shut the power off for an extended period of time. We are off-grid, so our power goes out from time to time for this kind of thing and I dislike how these cheap UPS units you get from amazon/bestbuy only last like 5 minutes.Our main power source is a Sol-Ark 12k. Last night I was up til about 1AM on the computer, then went to bed, leaving (of course) 20 tabs open, all sorts of programs without totally saving, the usual when you get over-confident that stuff isn't going to shut down. Everything was working and I went to bed.This morning, I roll out of bed about 8:30, and start heading over to the office, and Jarrett (my partner) is trying to figure out why everything is off. The inverter was totally off, BigBattery voltage meter was not on...Same kind of behavior as when the battery gets run dead.So I tried connecting up a regulated power supply to the inverter, inverter wouldn't turn on with 12.00v input...So we crank up the voltage to 14.00v, still nothing. At this point, I realized that if the BigBattery was fully discharged, then the voltage wouldn't have just gone up this easy, and at this point it was obvious to me that something totally failed. We pull out the BigBattery pack and check the 300a fuse inside...Blown.Obvious to me now, it seemed that the inverter had failed...So we pull it out of the rack, take it to the autopsy table and take it apart. I'm thinking that inside I'm going to find burned fets, maybe a stuck transfer switch, something crazy like that.But inside, it was as spotless as the day I got it. How do you blow a 300a fuse without causing serious damage I ask myself.I was tempted to take it down to nothing and find the problem, but Jarrett wants us to check into the warranty first before we potentially void that. This unit was like $450, so it'd be nice to have a working solution again.Join the HighTechLab Discord Server! discord.gg/wZBXf4BVisit my website at Https://www.currentconnected.com#AimsPower #InverterCharger #BrokenFTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.

12kw Off-Grid Solar Array || Beginning Installation HighTechLab 2021-04-18 | In this video, I go over our plan on installing 12Kw of solar on the roof of our 3 shipping containers. For mounting the Solar Rail, we decided to go with Unistrut as the mounting hardware between our Iron Ridge XR100 Panel Rails and containers. Overall, it will offer a ton of flexibility when it comes to swapping out the panels in the future whether one of the panels fails or we decide to buy new panels for our array. After we get the array up and running, we are going to pair the panels to another Sol-Ark 12K All-In-One unit AC Coupled with our other Sol-Ark to compliment and power our Off-Grid Setup.

BUYER BEWARE: Stay Away From USED Solar Panels (Trina Solar) HighTechLab 2021-04-18 | In this video, we cover why buying used panels is not always the best option over new solar panels. We bought 2 pallets of used Trina Solar panels, not thinking about recalled panels being re-introduced to the used solar panel market. The Trina Solar Panels we bought had been recalled for model years 2011-2014 for quality issues Along with many other large manufacturers, Trina solar had a number of quality issues over the years. These have been mostly the result of backsheet degradation and failure leading to water ingress or PID issues. Fortunately this appears to be limited mostly to panels sold between 2011 and 2014, and related to an alternative backsheet or EVA material being used during manufacture. Recent panels do not seem to have any recorded issues, but this does not mean there will not be faults in the future. As with all large volume manufacturers, there is bound to be an occasional batch or small number of panels with issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two articles cover this well:solarpowerworldonline.com/2020/01/solars-silent-killer-backsheets-are-shortening-project-lifespanscleanenergyreviews.info/blog/trina-solar-panel-battery-review (Read approximately 3/4 of the way down the page, "past quality issues"---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Visit my website at currentconnected.comJoin the HighTechLab Discord Server! discord.gg/wZBXf4B#Solar #UsedPanels #TrinaRecall---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.

Plasma Cutting The Wall In Our Container Lab (Ep. 4) HighTechLab 2021-02-19 | In this video, we bought a new Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 40 Plasma Cutter! We began cutting out the walls of the container with just a cut-off wheel on a grinder... But it was taking forever and was becoming way too labor intensive. So, my brain began to think about ways we could do this more efficiently. We tried using an oxy acetylene torch, but it was really just a mess. There was a ton of contamination (like paint) and it was not cutting well on the thin container steel. So, my brain started to think (again) about other ways we could do this way more efficiently. And then bam, I remembered how awesome Plasma Cutters are! We used to use them in the trade school I went to. So, we went ahead and purchased one brand new and it worked AWESOME!If you are interested in purchasing a Plasma Cutter like the one in the video, follow this link: amzn.to/3blNvcKVisit my website at Https://www.currentconnected.comJoin the HighTechLab Discord Server! discord.gg/wZBXf4B#ShippingContainer #Welding #FramingNew Plasma Cutter! 0:00Overview of Finishing 2:26Filter/Drier 4:22Cutting Walls 4:54Conclusion 7:34FTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.

Welding The Roof Of Our Shipping Container Lab (Ep. 3) HighTechLab 2021-02-12 | In this episode, we begin day 2 of welding the two shipping containers together. At first, to power the load of the welder, we were using an AMP 3-in-1 air compressor, welder, and generator. But, after less than 10 hours the bolt(s) on the coupling between the motor and generator took a hit and the bolt literally sheared off. Anyways, we went ahead and ran extension cords from our off grid system. The Sol-Ark was able to handle all of the load, and we have not had anymore expensive equipment break...

LiFePO4 Puncture Test - Can these batteries catch fire? Is LiFePO4 Safe? HighTechLab 2021-02-04 | Do not try this at home, work, school, in a car, on a boat, in a bus, on the freeway, or anywhere for that matter!!Attention viewer: Please consider these flames - Gasoline, wood, paper, just about anything, can put out flames of similar scale. We believe that the second puncture caused a spark that caused the vapor to burn. That doesn't mean these batteries are ticking time bombs, it means that proper safety, e.g. MAKING SURE A CELL CANNOT GET PUNCTURED TO START WITH should be priority number 1. We are going to be doing short circuit testing, overcharging testing, and more, very soon, but we start with the worst-scenario case of something going terribly, terribly wrong.Todays test was constructed after reading through countless testing and specifications for LiFePO4 batteries. I have found that many of them specify a safety parameter for details such as overcharging, over discharging, crushing, and so on, however, none of them give any detail with respect to puncturing. In this video, I took a heavy bar that had a spike on one end, and punctured an aluminum-cased LiFePO4 cell that I am doing other testing on. The result after the first puncture was simply venting of vapor, but I believe that when I made the second puncture, there was a spark produced that caused this electrolyte vapor to ignite, leading to the flame ball observed in the video.In a video coming soon, we plan to compare this to the type of fire that would be created with other battery chemistries, such as Li-Ion that contain cobalt. Cobalt within batteries allows the batteries to have a thermal runaway which cannot be extinguished due to the chemicals providing their own oxygen. Later beyond If we take a look at the chemical makeup of a LiFePO4 cell, we will observe that there are more chemicals inside of a battery aside from JUST LiFePO4. Take a look of this info I copied from Wikipedia:Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_iron_phosphate_batteryCathode composition (weight)90% C-LiFePO4, grade Phos-Dev-125% carbon EBN-10-10 (superior graphite)5% polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)Electrolyte: ethylene carbonate–dimethyl carbonate (EC–DMC) 1–1 lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) 1MAnode: graphite or hard carbon with intercalated metallic lithiumIf you take note of the electrolyte, and further research dimethyl carbonate, you fill find that this is flammable.#LiFePO4 #LiFePO4Puncture #LiFePO4FireOverview of LiFePO4 0:00Puncturing 2:16Smoking 2:25Internally Glowing 2:53Battery Burning 3:16Flammability Conclusion 7:06Join the HighTechLab Discord Server! discord.gg/wZBXf4BVisit my website at Https://www.currentconnected.comFTC Disclosure Statement:Some links on this YouTube channel may be affiliate links.
