A123 LiFePO4 Cells - the iron man’s battery

100 or so…

More than I have, only 20 or so.

Amperage? I’m interested

They are gold, my equipment has need in production 3 years now hundreds of cycles not much sign of degradation. I don’t think I will get the same life with littokala but who knows. The chemistry is solid. Too big for a board though.

Littokala claim 35 to 55 amps per cell I have pulled close to 15 amps with little sag so thats not bad. I always 1/2 littokala current claims. I wall looking at the 75amp 3.2 bricks but these work out much cheaper even with a Daly BMS.

Just in case anyone wants these cells in a pre-built form, check our thread:

We will have about 100 batteries for sale. If you get 15wh per mile out of your drive train, easily can do 25 miles on a full charge.

They do take some time and care to take apart and also to assemble.

Will you have any raw cells for sale, or will they all go into these packs?

Forgot to mention in the thread. Will add but yes, We are selling them for $3 per cell + shipping. Considering it takes me about 2 hours to disassemble them correctly and these cells sell for $6.55-$13.50 per cell new depending on the site, still a great price for these cells.

which 14s lifepo4 bms?

It’s just a litechpower bms. They have plenty of options

If you guys aren’t using a charge only smart bms, your really missing out.

Being able to see the individual cell voltages and your actual charge rate and seeing that it IS actually balancing, are all peace of mind things that $10-$20 more will give you.

Not to mention you can set it up so the bms charges you only 80% and still do balancing. You can set what voltage starts balance and where to stop.

It’s like going back to hobbyking ESCs instead of VESCs…

This is one of our battery packs below.

This is one of the LTT power ones right? I really wanna pick one up for my build

LTT smart BMS’s are so 2018! It’s all about the ANTBMS’s now!

Would you mind explaining how these are better?

I just stayed away from Bluetooth because from a distance,
they all seemed like poorly made Chinese bms with Bluetooth slapped on the package and a piss poor android only app to accommodate.
Do you run the LLT smart bms on iOS @evoheyax ?

Well the big thing is one model of bms can do 7s to 20s voltage without requiring an entirely different model.

Higher current capabilities, proper precharge circuit, better app options for adjustment, double the balancing current. Basically it does everything the LTT BMS’s do and more.

I also run my BMS discharge and the ANTBMS’s are smaller than the LTT ones (unless you run charge only but at that point the bms should be external with the charger IMO)

Yes, I run an iOS English version of the app someone made and uploaded, because the official one is only in mandarin.

So far, I’ve been running one of these in my race board for the last 2 years, been going well so far. Always keeps them balanced, fun to watch when your charging at 12a.
