📝 Description

We’re running a real-world capacity test on this 48V 100Ah LiFePO4 wall-mounted battery from WattCycle. This setup uses a Victron Energy Smart Shunt and inverter to measure actual amp-hour output under load. Current test conditions: Load: Dehumidifier / AC Draw: ~7.1 amps Test type: Full discharge capacity test Measurement: Victron Smart Shunt The goal is simple: see if this battery actually delivers its rated 100Ah. Full results and breakdown coming in the main video. #shorts #batterytest #lifepo4 #48vbattery #wattcycle #solardiy #energystorage #offgrid #batterycapacity #solarbattery #solarbattery Battery Under Test: WattCycle 48V 100Ah Voltage: 51.2V nominal Capacity: 100Ah (rated) Chemistry: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Test Type: Full discharge capacity test Test Equipment Shunt: Victron Smart Shunt Inverter: Victron MultiPlus inverter Load: Dehumidifier / AC unit Current Draw: ~7.1A continuous

All right, you guys. So, what we got going up in here is we got the capacity test going on with this Watts Cycle wall-mounted battery. We got a Frankenstein setup going up in here. So, don't do this.

This is only for temporary testing purposes. We got it connected to the negative coming off the battery connected to this Victron Smart Shunt, which this Victron Smart Shunt and the battery is connected to this Victron inverter, MultiPlus II inverter, and then it's connected to a dehumidifier / AC going on over there. At the current rate that it's running, it's pulling about 7 amps as you can see right there, 7. 1 amps.

It's going to be measured by this, and we're going to do the capacity test. So, hopefully this battery, which is rated for 100 amp hours, it will pull the full 100 amp hours. We're going to have to wait and find out. At the rate that it's going, we're going to have to let it go overnight.

Hopefully, check back in the morning and see if we can catch it before it runs out. But, that thing is what's really measuring this. So, check back soon.
