Battery bank almost ready...

Finished wiring superseal connectors onto the batteries tonight.

Added an extra battery to the existing two. Trouble was it had a different bms data connector on the new one so I had to bite the bullet and swap them all over. I really struggled to source the existing connectors (some sort of gx16 aircraft style).

The V2 of these batteries are now fitted with superseal connectors so I had to match them.

All done and pretty pleased they should all talk to each other nicely now. 390 ah of lithium should hopefully give me all the power I should ever need in the build.

Was wondering about a UK supplier, will research more when time allows

You see them on eBay.co.uk - used batteries typically taken out of medical installs where batteries get replaced on a time rather than use basis as a precaution.

Hi,
Yes the same but the link you put is for the version 2 of this battery that has 8 extra ah and they changed the BMS data cables over to a superseal connector. Oh, and they are now green.

As Wildebus says, they do pop up on eBay.. Will Prowse (I think that's his name) did one of his youtube strip down type reviews on the Valence batteries.
