Due to the corona crisis i didnt order any parts from aliexpress as those would be delayed. Some time ago i did order a 15a 220v to sigarette charger that can supply the 9a hardwire mode but its still stuck at customs in my country so have to wait it out and use the 5a i already have. Also here there is a 22 euro tax free limit. Above that you get some hefty customs/tax fees that makes the prebuild aliexpress batteries almost as expansive as the 165 euro i payd for the nrg that shipped in 2 days. Otherwise i might have bought a turmera or kanavano battery. Those seem to offer really nice capacity at very affordable prices. in the end i went with the 20ah lifepo4 from nrg it is comparable to those from all-batteries.com but also ships here from the netherlands. It has a bms that monitors temperatures which is a wise addition.
I had to make the xt60 extension cable with parts available in dutch webshops. I used proper cable connectors those that you grip onto them to connect everything together but had to use the isolationtape to tie over it as car store that sells the nice shrinking hoses is closed until atleast 28th of april.
After I assembled the cable i tested it it works flawlessly the battery also charges really nicely in both 5a sigarette and 9a hardwire mode. It stops charging when the bms values that are the same as the b124 are reached.
It should give me a 24/7 parking mode for around 5 days.
