EEL Battery DIY Kit V5. Fantastic battery box but with strange cell compression.

View ChannelAbout
Taking your house, shed or garage 'off-the-grid' is a very exciting thing to do. On this channel, I share my experience and thoughts of taking my garage offline, disconnecting it from the power supply and run it solely from solar and batteries (for teaching and testing purposes). We will do a lot of testing here on the channel, batteries, cells, BMS, electronics, solar charge controllers and even panels. I will explain how everything works in a beginner friendly way. We will also do smaller side projects to break things down and make it easy to understand. So no previous knowledge or experience necessary to build your own solar-battery system.

Video Description
Today, we are going to have a look at the brand-new EEL Battery DIY Kit V5. This time, they delivered a white case which looks actually very nice. We are having a look at this new box, all the accessories and components inside, the installation process and also talk about the design aspects of this new kit. EEL Battery also delivered a small upgrade kit for the V4 version of their DIY Kit (which you still can buy btw, link below), which we will quickly install and see, if this fixes the issues we discovered previously. The V5 of the EEL DIY Kit series is very nice and great. I just don't understand who at EEL came up with this strange idea on how to compress the cells inside this box. It just does not make sense to me. So, is the new V5 box worth 4 frogs or do we have to downgrade to 3 frogs only, because of the 'enforced' compression mechanic EEL proposes + some other, small issues? What do you think?
