EVE MB56 Capacity Test: Ginormous capacity and cheapest option to build a battery!
Off-Grid Garage
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. You can get more information on my website: https://off-grid-garage.com DISCLAIMER By watching these videos, you agree: All electrical work must be carried out as per your local laws, rules and regulations. Installations and setups shown in my videos are for test and demonstration purposes only and may not satisfy regulatory requirements.

Video Description
Today, I'm testing the new EVE MB56 cells from Yixiang. I ordered 16 of these huge cells for the MB56 DIY box we had a look at recently. I really want to build this big battery! These cells are really great and come with a lot of storage. We are getting more than 2.2kWh out of one cell and reach more than 680Ah of the rated 628Ah. Also, the cells look perfect, real A-grad cells with very high quality. These MB56 cells have an M8 Terminal but with a tiny contact area to the bus bars. From previous tests, we know that this is not an issue at all. Best thing: looking at the price, the EVE MB56 cells beat the MB31 cells by 30% and seems to be THE cheapest option to build a battery! I had a few problems with the ZKE-Tech EBC A40L after the upgrade to Windows 11 but found a solution on Github to revive the USB adapter and make the software work again. However, something is not right and the software does not work reliably anymore. I'm in contact with ZKE-Tech and hope they can advise on how to fix the problem. I'll keep you posted...
