Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Built my 24v 40ah LIFEPO4 battery

 

That looks to be very nicely done. My pack is of course 1/2 the capacity of
that one, but the price for me was considerably less. I paid $422 for the
cells shipped, and ~$200 for the charger and BMS. I am not endorsing either
purchase right now, not at least until I am able to give the back a good
workout.
