In hindsight, I wouldn't be using any cells under 2100mah 💰Save up to 10% at these stores with coupon code ' powerwalls '💰 🔵 BatteryHookup USA - https://bit.ly/BatteryHookUP 🔵 BigBattery USA - https://bit.ly/BIGBattery 🔵 Lithium Power - Australia - https://bit.ly/LithiumPowerAustralia Second Life Storage Cell Finder - 🔋 Paolo Italy https://ebay.to/38xPUhT 🔋 Tim De Groot NL https://ebay.to/2OX9koS 🔋 Power 2 Spare USA https://ebay.to/2SuJWsr 🔋 Pro-LOX Netherlands https://ebay.to/2HsyPKr 💻💡DIYPowerwalls Community Facebook Group 💡💻 ► http://www.facebook.com/groups/diypowerwalls Official forum thread with all the extra details to fill all the gaps - 👍 Total Project Cost - https://goo.gl/cfLqZf 👍 18650 wall mounts - https://goo.gl/xDUzSV ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Cheap BMS - http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/eX4NpXsc Quality BMS - http://www.batrium.com ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Learning resources - 🔖 DIY Lithium Batteries- https://amzn.to/2MC4BaM 🔖 Mobile Solar Power Made Easy - https://amzn.to/2Tzk6TA 🔖 DIY Solar Power - https://amzn.to/2IgxfMa Recommended Gear - 🔵 Clamp AMP Tester -- https://goo.gl/z8b4uJ 🔵 iCharger X6 - https://goo.gl/GtBtW9 🔵 Flir Thermal Camera - http://bit.ly/35qWwgh Affiliate Stores - 💸 Amazon Store - https://www.amazon.com/shop/hbpowerwall 💸 eBay - https://goo.gl/tk6Qdd 💸 Banggood - https://goo.gl/1PWhni Social Media - ► Forum - http://www.diypowerwalls.com/t-HBPowerwall-Offical ► Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/hbpowerwall ► Twitter - http://twitter.com/hbpowerwall ► Insta - https://www.instagram.com/hbpowerwall Become a channel Sponsor - 💵 Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/user?ty=h&u=3477148 💵 PayPal - https://www.paypal.me/homebrewpowerwall 💵 Merchandise - http://www.diypowerwalls.com/18650ED ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Music Credits ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▽ Cut and Dry - Electronic Hard by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100852 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ■ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Thanks for tuning in as always!
