Missed this video...

Ok, so it was on the youtube channel projects in paradise. His friend had 8 12v battleborns 4S2P for a 48v system. He went over to see a melt down and some of the batteries melted/burned with holes and the like with some fire. Luckily they where in a shed. What happened was a few of the batts got out of balance and the BMS did NOT shut down when a couple of batts got to 18v. The cells ran away and cause damage. Battleborn replaced the batteries but only if they took down the video. It was only up for a few hours.

The real question is, why did more then one battery BMS fail to disconnect? Thats pretty bad odds and more then likely defective BMS's. How many of those batteries are out there in the wild with faulty BMSs?

1. They sell some batteries with a very high surge capacity; this one claims to be able to do A for 2s, and 900A for 5s, which is pretty large for a 135Ah 12V battery.

If you are going to review one do the new DL+ series which has a much higher spec BMS and supposedly good for engine starting applications. They seem to be moving their product line this way.

This would be the thing to review.
We've seen how much trouble people have with server rack batteries not being able to drive heavy loads, or tripping on connection to inverter.

Topics to cover:
1) A battery like this may still need precharge circuit for capacitors on input of large inverter.
2) This is a 12V battery; is the BMS compatible with 48V series connection? (Ask vendor first!)
3) Does it ever disconnect (short of preventing catastrophic failure), because in automotive applications that kills alternators.
4) [Edit: Also how overloads are handled. (A is easy if no BMS FET or other disconnect. Relay could handle, but is it protected?)]

I agree $ is a very high price for 135 Ah 12V. But I suggest ignoring the price and reviewing it for the functionality and performance it offers. As a 12V starting battery even if it can't do 48V (hope it can at least do 24V, common for starting applications.) My K uses 2x 800 CCA batteries in parallel.

If a company offers an exceptional product not available from anyone else, would be good to tout its capabilities even if the price is not right for most. Leading products bring in customers most of whom buy something else (e.g. Dodge Viper), and featuring what this can do for the well heeled motor vehicle enthusiasts could also bring you new viewers.

A SMART LITHIUM BATTERY HEATER

Our proprietary Thermal Core Heating Technology™ checks the temperature of the cells inside the battery and reroutes the inbound current from the charger to warm the cells if the cell temperature is below 32F. / 0C., Once the internal cell temperature has been increased to a safe charging temperature, the current from the charger is routed to the cells so a safe charge can take place.

This process is fully automatic as it is controlled by the BMS built into each battery.  More than a simple Lithium Battery Heater,  this innovative technology ensures that your battery is always ready to perform when you need it most. This is a critical feature for anglers who enjoy taking advantage of fall fishing bites in northern climates.

“I am running (3) 100AH Norsk lithiums to power my 36-volt Minkkota trolling motor system. The first thing I noticed during installation was the huge weight savings over the lead-acid batteries I typically ran. After installing I ran them on my 21-foot fiberglass for 3 full-day guide trips at an average of 4.5-7 power on my trolling motor remote. They made it 17 plus hrs before finally needing a charge, very impressed!! I will never turn back to the heavy, undependable dark side of the lead acid batteries.”
