In this video, we take a close look at the Yixiang (YIX New Energy), 48V DIY battery kit.
Key features of the kit include:
- JK 200A BMS With 4.3 Inch Touch Screen.
- 220A DC Rated Circuit Breaker
- Well, Labeled Power Switch.
- Flexible Bus Bars.
- Use cells (CATL, EVE, HITHIUM, REPT).
- Double M6 Large-surface Cell Studs.
- Box Comes Preassembled, Just Add Your Cells.
If you have been thinking of buying batteries but don't want to pay the high cost, then this kit might be for you. It is the easiest kit I have found
to build. At the end of the video, I include a price comparison on the cost of this kit VS. popular retail rack-mount batteries. This battery is not UL listed.
*** UPDATE 02-2025 ***
The all new V2 kit is here and it comes with a hefty bi-directional circuit breaker and a fire extinguisher aerosol. Video coming soon!
