Calculating Battery Bank Capacity

This video explains how to calculate the energy storage of a battery bank based on the voltage and capacity of the individual cells.

That was pretty explicitly explained. Nice job Mr.Welch.

This was exactly the video I needed to see, to learn what I was wondering about - thank you!

[unlost]

Yay someone mentions all of the battery / cell parameters correctly. Good job Adam. Love ur vidz

[lukewalker]

Thank you Adam. Well explained and yes, it helps.

[sparkiekosten]

Noice! a very basic and easily understood video about series parallel circuits.
Short, sharp and concise.
Thanks Adam!

Good video Adam, be great to hear a comparison of available energy between the two battery chemisteries.

[anonymusunknown]

Just what I needed. I was so confused. Thank you Sir!

Always love your language, even though I am not native English! This is why I love your videos! Thumbs up!

[bubbatt]

so clever and simple, you answered all my questions, you are great bro, thanks

You cannot calculate watt hours. You can only measure it. This is because the voltage decreases as the SOC falls, so at any voltage below nominal, the watts are not as high as calculated when using nominal

Nice educational video. Like a video classroom study. Thank you Adam.

I've several times toyed with the idea of putting together packs of LIon batteries to replace my 35AH SLA batteries in my solar system.

I calculate my capacity using an arduino. I take a reading every minute. I use a cutoff of 3.2 volts and the arduino stores the current and voltage and a counter keeps track of the number of minutes. When done, the arduino calculates average current and voltage then multiples that by the time (converted to hrs). Thats how I get my capacities.

Coming up next, measuring the reality and facts of energy losses in chargers, buck/boost converters and inverters. :-)

[colinpamplin]

Good and succinct explanation - well done

[justsayin]

Where does it say on the battery what the ah rating is?

[jwilkinson]

I always wanted to know AH of my 18650 battery 13S 5P, so it's 48V 10 AH

[apartment]

This helped me understand. What is the average usage you use in your shed?

[annanmanpaul]

if you are running it in parallel do i have to used a bms

[tj]

Why do you have all those battery banks, what are they for?
