Why Build With AmpBird

Everything for a safe, reliable DIY pack.

Complete Kit in One Box

Cells, BMS, busbars, terminal hardware, and wiring -- everything you need to build a working battery pack.

Grade A Matched Cells

Cells are capacity-tested and voltage-matched as a set, so your pack balances faster and lasts longer.

Pre-Programmed BMS

The included BMS ships configured for your cell count and chemistry. No laptop, no parameter guesswork.

Save vs Pre-Built

Building your own pack costs significantly less per kWh than a finished battery -- with the same Grade A cells.

Custom Capacity

Choose your cell count and configuration to build exactly the voltage and kWh your system needs.

Full Build Documentation

Step-by-step assembly guide, wiring diagrams, and torque specs included. Support if you get stuck.

Why build your own?

DIY vs Pre-Built

DIY from Scratch
AmpBird DIY Kit
Sourcing
Source enclosure, BMS, busbars, breaker, screen, cables from multiple suppliers — weeks of research
One box. Every component matched and tested together before shipping.
Wiring
Cut, crimp, and route every cable. Hope you bought the right gauge. Hope you didn't forget the balance leads.
Pre-cut silicone cables with labeled connectors. Plug into labeled terminals. No crimping tool needed.
Compatibility
Will this BMS talk to my inverter? Does the breaker rating match my cells? Cross fingers, search forums.
Pre-tested compatibility with Victron, Growatt, Deye, Luxpower, EG4, and more. CAN/RS485 protocol confirmed.
Capacity
Hope you calculated correctly. Re-buy if you got the voltage wrong. Enclosure might not fit your cells.
Choose 280–330Ah cells. Same enclosure. Same BMS. Build 12V / 24V / 48V — upgrade voltage later without re-buying.
Support
Reddit threads. YouTube videos from three years ago. Hope the BMS manual was translated by a human.
Illustrated assembly manual. Video walkthrough. WhatsApp support from engineers who built the kit.

Cell Compatibility

Our DIY enclosure is compatible with standard prismatic LiFePO4 cells from 280Ah to 330Ah. Same form factor, same M6 terminals — just pick the capacity that fits your needs and budget.

280Ah
896 Wh per cell 16S pack: 14.3 kWh
300Ah
960 Wh per cell 16S pack: 15.4 kWh
314Ah
1,005 Wh per cell 16S pack: 16.1 kWh
330Ah
1,056 Wh per cell 16S pack: 16.9 kWh

Compatible with all major Tier-1 cell manufacturers. Enclosure fits standard 17472 format prismatic cells.

Build your battery in 5 steps

Assembly Guide

No welding. No special tools. No electrical engineering degree required. If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you can build this battery.

1

Prepare Cells

Top-balance your cells to within 0.01V. Arrange them in the enclosure with separator sheets between each cell. Torque M6 terminals to 5 N·m. Double-check polarity orientation before proceeding — getting this wrong is the easiest mistake to make and the hardest to undo.

Pro tip: Take a photo of your cell arrangement with serial numbers visible. Comes in handy for warranty later.
2

Install Components

Mount the BMS onto the pre-drilled bracket. Install the DC breaker into the front panel cutout. Connect the LCD display ribbon cable to the BMS communication port. Secure the busbars across cell terminals in the correct series/parallel pattern shown in the wiring diagram.

All mounting holes are pre-drilled. All brackets are pre-installed. You need one tool: a 5mm hex driver.
3

Connect BMS

Attach balance leads in order from B0 (cell 1 negative) through B16 (cell 16 positive). The wiring harness is pre-labeled. Plug the BMS temperature sensors onto the designated cell surfaces. Connect main negative and positive leads through the DC breaker. Before closing the circuit, verify all balance lead voltages with a multimeter.

Connect balance leads B0 first, then B1 through B16 in order. One swapped lead = potential BMS damage. The manual has a checklist.
4

Configure Inverter

Power on the BMS and verify all cell voltages on the LCD screen. Set BMS parameters via the JK app: capacity, cell count, voltage limits. Connect the CAN/RS485 cable to your inverter. Select the matching protocol from the BMS menu. Perform a test charge-discharge cycle at low current to confirm communication and cutoff behavior.

Inverter protocol list included in the manual: Victron, Growatt, Deye, Luxpower, EG4, SMA, and more.
