All right Video Time! Today we're going to be talking about little Barn phosphate batteries. Let me show you these are the Headway batteries. We don't sell headways, but we do sell the bus bars right. and so of course you know that we sell two versions of these.

the uh ones with the two American wire gauge uh blocks terminal blocks right here like this one and then we also sell them without the blocks. and today I'm going to show you what you can do with the one without the blocks because we got in one of these battery boxes that are see-through and that just happens to work with the with the right size for this one right here right? So I'm gonna show you what you will have to do and get to be able to put that in there. So let's start this project All right. So here's what you're going to need.

You're gonna need to get the battery the battery box from uh, Glow Voltage. We'll put a link to their website here and then you're gonna have to make two custom cables. Now this is not the only way to make this cables, but this is one way to make these cables right. I used two American wire gauge and I went to one big lug here right? and then I went to two smaller ones and then these are a different lanes because then uh what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna attach it to different places in here.

This is the negative terminal. This is the positive terminal and what you want to do is when you are trying to put a wires in here. Uh, you want to space them, You want to use several cables, All right. We've talked about this in previous videos.

We're talking about these batteries. It just works better to distribute better the power, right? Uh, and so in this case, we're going to use two. The more cables you use, the better distribution the power, the less heat spots that are going to develop into these PCB bus bars right? And so I the two. The I would say the bare minimum right and two American wire gauge Kind of works for that.

And so that's why these are different lanes and I'm going to show you right now how that works out here. Uh, also, so that means you're gonna have to get 11 of these lugs and two of these wires and then like, uh, shrink tube and stuff like that and then uh, you're gonna have to get a Heltech uh. balancer Makes a good idea. If you're going to seal your battery in there, you want to use a balancer so that it's always just fighting.

Uh, against the batteries drifting apart in voltage, right? Um, because these a lot of what you guys are doing are buying used batteries, right? If you buy the Super Beast module, they all come from the same module. They'll have the same life. Then you shouldn't have to worry too much. Those cells are very close, naturally together, right match.

but sometimes, uh, those are out of stock and what you end up having to do is buy the cells separately. Uh, like it's the case of these ones right here. These ones I think are cells that I bought uh, you know, along the years separately and so they vary somewhat in specs, right? their health of the batteries at this point because they're used and also towards the end of their life or whatever. That's why we can get them super cheap then this is a good idea because it will keep them from drifting too far apart.

you know where it will damage them. So this is a good thing. You will have to put uh, ring terminals in there so that you can connect them in here and I'll show you there's five cables I'll show you where to connect those in here in the board. Uh, let's start this build by installing this balancer.

Okay so step one, we're gonna Mount the balancer on top of this battery and really, there's not a lot of space to put it on the side so we have to put it on the top. So I'm going to use this. this is called fish paper and it has adhesive on one side and this is just to isolate this unit right so it doesn't short out. So and then that way we can put this unit right here.

I'm gonna use Captain tape. So now to connect the four lugs in here. Okay, so first the black and the red go to the black side and the red. the positive uh and the negative sides right? So we're going to connect those first and I'm just gonna use this uh lug here at the very end this screw and we're going to put it in there so we're gonna loosen it up.

So the the black one, we're gonna put it right here. There we go. Then the red one. Okay.

Next we have the three cables in the center. so the yellow one is going to go here and the mid pad. So next is gonna be the green one which is going to be right where the black end is at. right at the bottom over here.

so we'll have to flip the battery on the side and then attach those from the bottom. The green one is gonna go right here. Yeah, so I'm gonna go on the second one here. Okay, so the this is two pads on the bottom so it goes on this pad right here and then the white one goes on the other side of the red cable right? It's the red one right here.

so this one's next to that. So the red cable is on the bottom here row. So then this one goes on this pad right here. It's only five cables, it's not that hard.

So next you connect this uh connector right in here. Okay, now we use some zip ties all right. Next, we're gonna install the cables and I'm gonna skip one, two and then on the third one and the same thing here. one, two and then on the third one.

So we're gonna have to, uh, take these, loosen them I just tape that in right here so it doesn't I don't accidentally short it out because this is, uh, well, this is a lot of current. Also, keep in mind that while you connect this, then this one becomes live so be very careful. Okay, so this one same thing here. we're gonna take this, loosen them.

So now we take the top of the box. take the screws that came with the Box screw those on there right? So this is gonna go this way, not short anything. There we go. Now, if you accidentally touch that in there, it's not gonna blow up on you.

put some Captain tape on this side. also. Okay, so now we're probably the best way to put the battery inside is going to be to put this one on its side here and then just push it in there. There we go there, we go.

Take this. The cool thing about this box is that well it's uh, it's screwed together so that means you can service it right later on. You don't have to glue it like a lot of them uh that come from China and also is that it's got the seal that you should be able to. uh, have it.

Weather weather tight weather seal right? So now we can put the screws. Last but not least, you got to put these little things in here. That's just to cover the little screws. All right And there you go.

This is one quick easy way that you can house your 64 amp hour. Uh, Headway Battery right? This is uh, 32 cells. Uh, it's good for about 400 or 500 amps I think right depending on the condition of the cells. Again, if you're using U-cells or if you're using new cells, it's going to make a big difference to us to how much power it'll be able to put out or whatever.

But yeah, if you want to put this in your car there, uh now it's all of a sudden it is protected and uh, you don't have to worry about it now. Glow. Uh, Voltage has some Led kids that he sells I think I Hope that he makes some for this box in here so they can put them inside and then you know they light up and stuff in case you're interested in that for you know, just to put it in your car and make it look cool. These batteries look pretty cool right? I Mean they they look serious.

They look like, uh, they're You know that's where the power is coming from from your audio system. So yeah, you know if you want to showcase your battery like that, this is a perfect case. We're going to put a link to this case in the description. Uh, a link to the balancer and a link to our bus bars and then the cells.

You know, basically everything that you need to put this together, right? Uh, the cables and the lugs and stuff we're gonna just link them to Amazon so you can get the right sizes and the right amounts and stuff. So there you go. Thanks for watching this video. We'll see you guys on the next one.

Bye.
