A. Batteries work better at this time, caps are rare and expensive devices that are very good at doing things not needed for storage systems typically.

I have.a bunch of olights that run off theses.
I am a bit stumped, but if I make a 4S 18650 pack with a BMS on it do I need a solar charge controller that can do lithium batteries, or do I just throw it directly onto the solar panel so no charge controller is needed?
Can these be used in a ebike? Or do they not put out enough amps?
Good for powerwall or bike bag
Do you want a tip bro? You could save some cash for each one of these packs, Let me know. I'll be happy to let you know how.
Where can I find that metal square piece you are using to crack them open?
im sorry. i dont understand how to get a lower resistance in my cell
Sucks how you guys dont ship anywhere away from USA….bummer.
What does "Low Cycle" mean ? What is the name of the first tester you said you like ? Couldn't understand what the name was.
very good disclaimer.
one reason for different capacities is maybe the charger maker has the low end and high end set different.
for example a turnigy accucell 6 charger will allow discharge and storage all the way to 3 volts where as a turnigy 400 watt charger will storage and discharge to 3.2 volts so it will leave more margin for safety due to the fire scares.
same goes for the recovery of overdischarged cells.
the accucell i think will allow you to charge from as low as 2.5 volts where as the mega 400 and 800 chargers will not allow any lower than 3 volts .
so newer chargers if you want to recover a low pack you either have to use the nicd mode to slowly bring them up to 3 volts or set the charger to 1 less cell than in your series and do a charge without the balance connector connected at a very low current.
a bit of warning. recovering low or even 0 volt cells is very risky and can result in thermal runaway and fire but it can be done.
I bought these same modem packs and was struggling to get them open using a razor knife to cut them open. I was probably spending 2-3 minutes per pack to get them open. Then I watched your video, grabbed a paint scraper blade I had on hand, my Vise Grips, and a hammer, and did the remaining 70 packs I had in about 30 minutes! Thanks so much for sharing! Wow, you saved me a crap-ton of time. 🙂
Shipping to Puerto Rico?
I wish I knew how to do this. I would really like to build a power wall but don’t really know how or where to start.
Unfortunately i cant order cuz im in south africa 😕
@jehugarcia I know this might be a dumb question but how many of the batteries would it take to support a 16kW solar set up? Would like to have enough back up to run house at night of grid. Thinking of adding a 20kW generator as well for cloudy days. Thank you in advance
Nice battery source… So what happen to that Kickstarter charger/tester you showed us that connects to a computer? I thought you would have replaced your charging wall with that setup?
