Build Your Own LifePO4 Battery

How To Build A Battery Using Lifepo4 Cells

Before Doing A Self Build

Doing a self build battery seems appealing to many as it offers a significant cost saving over buying pre-built batteries.


The hardest part in building your own battery using Lifepo4 cells is sourcing good cells.


You can find LifePO4 cells on AliExpress, but there is the long wait, often months before your cells arrive (they can only be shipped).


If you are in the UK and want a good source for lifepo4 cells, check out this website.


You then have to source and buy a good battery management system (BMS) to look after your battery cells. These will vary in price and features.


Then there is the expense involved in buying the right cables, connectors and tools you will need to put it all together, it all adds up.


Safety is another factor, working with raw battery cells can be very dangerous. One mistake could be costly!


Warranty? In essence when you build a battery pack there is no warranty as its you doing the work required.


Time. Do you have the time to do a self build battery?


You need to know what your doing from the offset. For example do you know what a series connection is? What about parallel connections or even parallel - series configurations? 


If you are interested in knowing how cells differ between manufacturers, there is a good database from Gobelpower 


You really need to do your research on the subject, there are many forums on the subject. & you will find good information on the downloads page.
