EASIEST DIY 12-Volt 280Ah LiFePO4 Battery // Step-By-Step Build

#ModernNomad #MobileLiving #VanLife
Prismatic LiFePO4 cell prices have once again come down. Even with the wide-spread popularity of cheaper-than-ever, commercially-build lithium packs, you can still build your own for a lot less. I mean like 35% less and with all of the high-end features such as low-temperature cutoff and Bluetooth app connectivity. In this video, I will show you how I built a 280A pack for less than $700 and where I sourced all of the parts.
