Using a cheap li-ion battery from Aliexpress

Hi guys,

I found this cheap li-ion pack on Aliexpress.

12V Battery 30Ah 18650 lithium battery pack 30A sprayer built-in high current BMS electric vehicle battery 12.6V 3A charger

I want to use it for a long range terrain robot like this one:

I wanted to go for 24V, but they are very expensive for me. So I think the best route would be to go for 12V batteries.

The robot I'm planning to build shouldn't be very big. A 25cm x 30 cm should be enough.

Might be cheap.

Looks like a classic lead acid gel battery to me, given the size it might be 12V at 3Ah, or could be less.

For $5.82? That should tell you something for sure.

In the product page, there's a picture showing that it contains li-ion cells.

But I'm pretty much sure that they are cheap li-ion cells.

The whole package, battery + charger + cables for $34.

I wouldn't charge it indoors... Remember all of those exploding hover boards a few years ago? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Yep, you're right.
