See how I built a 4000Wh LiFePO4 battery in a metal toolbox out of brand-new 32650 battery cells from Battery Hookup. This battery will be use for solar energy storage as I begin converting my setup from LCO/NMC to LiFePO4.
WARNING: Lithium batteries are dangerous and can result in fire! This video is NOT intended to be instructional or a “how-to” lesson. I am not a professional. Do not attempt anything you see here without first contacting a certified and/or licensed professional.
