I'm building my best-ever DIY battery! It's 48v, 500 ah when tested from 4.2v - 2.9v, and has 25kwh of usable storage. I took 3000 cells ranging from 2300mah to 3400mah and sorted them into 50mah capacity ranges. Taking 14 cells from the 3400 range, then 14 from 3350 range, then 14 from the 3300 range and so on, to build an equally balanced DIY Battery. The lowest capacity battery used ended up being 2450 mah. After building the battery with www.batteryhookup.com's fused nickel strips with 10mm2 copper wire as busbars I tested each 193p battery with the iCharger X6 to get the AH of the completed battery capacity making the average cell 2600mah.
