Cylindrical cells 100AH | DIY Solar Power Forum

Due to some size constrictions (height) and considering that prismatic cells must be placed upside I am exploring other alternatives like this one:

Este producto ya no está disponible.

Price is ok, weight is better than prismatic, refrigeration between cells is also better, and it looks like no compression is required.

Still, I have found no feedback here, and there are very few sellers with little feedback

Any of you have first-hand experience with them?
I posted above they supply all the hardware to build the pack. It's displayed on their web page. I don't think it would add much to the cost. You would want to add a BMS.
I was my bad English, what I was asking is: how a company with 11 employees can build cells, so I wonder if they are just sellers and who make them, or they are used ones due to the price. In their company profile, there is not a single photo of a production line.

Here they sell another product, far more expensive, with pictures of a factory that not match their size:

I understand now....sorry. They have a website here:

Beian New Energy Co., Ltd.~Lithium Power Solution Provider, Energy Storage,ESS,LiFePO4, NMC,LTO,EV,Solar,Marine,Forklift,Golf cart, battery cell,VDA

Beian New Energy Co., Ltd. lithium battery system and solution provider. Lithium Power Solution Provider, Energy Storage,ESS, LiFePO4, NMC,LTO,EV,Solar,Marine,Forklift,Golf cart, battery cell,VDA
I don't know if they make their own cells. Many suppliers claim they make the products they sell when in fact they do not.

The products in their website match what they offer on Alibaba, that is good. Still I am not sure to try.
Looking into their web page, I am now confident enough they are the manufacturers, they provide detailed specifications and testing parameters far better than what I have seen for other cells.

Here is the document FC-100Ah specification https://lithiumpro.com/downloads
I get a 404 Global Error when I click the link. Were you able to download the spec sheet? If so please post it here.

What I would do is ask the alibaba seller if the cells are new and if the capacity is guaranteed. And any other questions you have.

The response might not be totally truthful, but you have some written communication to fall back on if there is a problem.

Lithium ion Cylindrical Cells VS Prismatic Cells: How to Select |

There are four common types of lithium battery cells in market– button or coin, prismatic, pouch or polymer, and cylindrical. By now, you’ve probably realized that different battery-powered devices may require different kinds of battery cells. But how to know which kind of battery cells is better to meet the requirement of devices?

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Xiaolu.

This time, we will explore two popular options of lithium cells on the market — Cylindrical and prismatic cells and elaborate the advantages and weaknesses of them to help you pick up the right battery.

However, the cylindrical design makes space saving more challenging than prismatic cells because they use up more space in battery-powered devices.

Inside a cylindrical battery, a series of cells are combined and operate in parallel to one another to help increase both the voltage and capacity of the battery pack. Small cylindrical cells are usually found in portable electronics such as medical devices or laptops. Notably, large cylindrical cells are also chosen to power some electric vehicles like Tesla.

A prismatic lithium battery can be encased in either steel or aluminum, which mainly increases the stability of battery cells. In turn, this unique design tends to make prismatic cells thin and light, and also with the feature of space saving. The rectangular shape of thin prismatic cells offer better layering than cylindrical cells, giving more flexibility for battery design engineers. For some consumer electronics like smartphones and tablets where mobility is of great importance, the key features of prismatic cells make them typically a popular choice. The popularity of prismatic cells is also related to their large capacity. For example, a compact 12V battery pack could be easily created by connecting four prismatic cells together. Therefore, prismatic cells are commonly used in large power applications such as energy storage systems.

Battery, as the power source for electric devices, plays a vital role in ensuring the performance of devices. As the battery cells are a part of the battery pack, which is a part of the device, it means that all these parts must work in harmony. Therefore, when choosing a battery cell, understanding the needs of device, the operating environment, the chargers and other accessories are required so as to choose the right cells. Besides, before a battery cell is selected, space, cost and safety are also needed to take into consideration.

Lithium prismatic cells are one of several cell formats offered by OSM Energy and are an excellent choice for applications requiring frequent cycling and long useful lifespans. Encased in a thin aluminum or steel enclosure for stability, the pouch cell shares packaging efficiencies of up to 95% with its lithium pouch cell counterpart PRISCore cells are a great choice for commercial, industrial, or OEM projects.

With excellent thermal characteristics, the prismatic cell requires less cooling per energy unit when compared to the cylindrical lithium cell format. Additionally, the prismatics offers excellent cycle life expectancies even under high and varied load, which typically has an adverse effect on the life expectancy of other lithium cell formats. With a cycle life of up to four times greater than cylindrical lithium cells, the cost of operation and ownership for prismatics can be significantly lower.

Available in a multitude of cell sizes and derivatives to address specific and unique performance requirements including specific energy, specific power, safety, performance, lifespan and cost, large format prismatic cells offered by OSM are an excellent choice for electric vehicle powertrains and energy storage systems.

If your lithium application requires high power, long service life and good performance, thinking less about the effective use of space, a cylindrical cell could be your selection. Otherwise, if your application needs to be suitable for a limited space and a higher price is acceptable, a prismatic cell could be better.

When you are not sure what type of lithium cell you should use, try to consider an experienced partner, such as OSM, that is able to provide a power supply solution matching your specific requirement and helps you make a reasonable buying decision.
