What’s Hiding Inside This Budget Powerhouse?!

Post author By admin
Post date June 30, 2025

Ever wondered what’s REALLY inside a budget-friendly LiFePO4 battery? Today I crack open the GoldenMate 12 V 100 Ah pack so you don’t have to! From the first dusty bolt to the final cell count, we uncover every secret: the BMS design, temperature probes, cell wiring (4 S 30 P for a total of 120 cylindrical cells!), and the overall build quality. If you camp, RV, run off-grid solar, or just love ham-radio-ready power, this is the deep-dive you’ve been waiting for.

🎯 Gear in this video
👉 GoldenMate 100 Ah LiFePO4 – https://geni.us/WRQF1
(Battery shown in video is currently out of stock)
👉 My teardown toolkit – https://geni.us/OilK
👉 KM9G merch – https://temporarilyoffline.com

• What we inspect: case construction, space utilization, nickel bus bars, wiring configuration
• Safety setup: outdoor teardown with 🔥 extinguisher, insulated tools & tips
• Verdict: Is GoldenMate worth your hard-earned cash, or should you keep scrolling?

👉 Subscribe for more teardowns, ham-radio hacks & off-grid tech every week!
