Fancy some portable power?

Post by radiogareth » Fri Jan 27, 2023 2:43 pm

After seeing and hearing about Rob's M0DTS LiFePO4 280A/Hr battery pack I fancied something similar, but lighter than the 25kg that his probably weighs - it was lifting in/out a '90A/Hr' 25kg Lead Acid that prompted my thinking.
So I ordered some 105A/Hr cells from Fogstar (well recommended elsewhere).
This morning I got an email flyer from them and therein you can find their new range of leisure batteries....https://www.fogstar.co.uk/collections/l ... re-battery
So with the added benefit of a 10 year gtee, pack heating if required to charge, ready cased with a built-in bluetooth BMS I asked to cancel my earlier order (it was an advance order pending stock anyway) and for an extra £36 (and a couple of months wait) I'll get a ready to go unit. Much as I like building stuff, 105A/Hr is a LOT of stored chemical energy.
Their true (usable) capacity and voltage characteristics along with cycle service life should see me OK for the foreseeable future. And its a mere 10kg.
