Vassilis, the post spacing is 89mm.
yes,
centre of the oval hole to the other is indeed 89mm. Havenāt touched Jauās dimensionsā¦
Will fit to 90mm posts as well as holes are oval.

ok thanks
Hi Mike, would you post to the UK? If so I would definitely like them
If you are willing to pay the shipping costs Iāll send them over, however, Iād suggest combined shipping for a couple people in the UK (or surrounding area) to reduce the overall cost of shipping. From USA ā UK for USPS International Priority Mail it would be just over $40 USD. Any applicable VAT/Customs costs would need to be paid on receiving end.
Sorry, I have just realised this is the ācell moduleā thread and not the shunt thread - are you selling cell modules or shunts? Iāve got controllers and lots of modules, I just canāt find all the parts for the shunts so I havenāt even ordered any from JLC yet
I only have shunts available currently. I am looking at ordering a few more modules but no timeline for it yet.
First of all, let me say, fantastic work everyone!
The wife and I are completely off-grid. We currently live off 1, 12v/100ah battery and are eagerly waiting for our new cells to arrive.
The cell we are getting are EVE LF230 prismatic cells(64). These cells have a 123mm spacing.
Has anyone modified the hole spacing to match these larger cells?
I had a go a month or so ago, but ended up getting different cells with 90mm spacing and left that.
If you donāt mind waiting for my modules to arrive and be tested (ā¦couldnāt even order them due to lack of components!), I can add the extra bit on the side and stretch it to 123mm
Thant sounds great! Waitingās not a problem. The cells are on the mainland till March anyway. Hopefully thereāll start to be some stability to the supply chain by then (but Iām not holding my breath).
Ordered the 10 I need a couple of days ago, should hopefully have them in 10days or so. When I do, Iāll check that they are fine (should be!) and then publish the 89-90mm and the 123mm files. ATM only things missing are the connectors (easy) and the ATTiny chip (also reasonably easy to do with a decent soldering iron)
cheers

quick question,
just noticed that JLC have decided to turn round ALL THREE diodes in the board 
original:
and the wrong one they are planning to built:
zoom in on D1, D3 and D4
is there anything I can do to change their mind?
thatās from the DFM Analysis popup screen which doesnāt seem to have any option to feedbackā¦
there is only this āwelcome back, may I help you?ā chat thing on the bottom right hand corner of the screen
cheers
V.
doh!
too tired last night, I was wrong, they corrected it 
all fine, will report once I get them in my hands
V.
edit:
while waiting for the modules to arrive from JLC, I had a go at a multi spacing LifePO4 module:
looks a bit odd but could be a universal solution to the various terminal spacings on cells. The 72mm is the hardest to achieve without reorganising the whole lot in the board (wasnāt ready to do soā¦)

Hi, where could i get gerber, bom and jlc files for lifepo4 module? Thanks guys
just an update,
received a new batch of LifePO4 modules with a couple of components changed due to stock issues. Works but balancing red led doesnāt turn on due to the slightly different properties of the mosfet driving the process. Balancing works (slightly differently thoughā¦)
Anyway, replaced the mosfet with the old one, works fine, led works as it should.
Now trying to figure out an alteration on the two resistors driving the mosfet to sort it out. If it works, Iāll post gerber et al hopefully by the w/e.
BTW, in the meantime I altered yet again the PCB to accept anything from 72 to 123mm post spacing. Looks odd but should be fine
so more news when Iām done with that.
cheers

I must admit iām not using this type of module (iām using the stock modules) but to me you would be much better to put the busbar below the modules to minimise connection losses.
+1 planning to get the busbars first with a thin flat nut, and then put the modules on top and secure them with another thin flat nut. Else you end up getting most of the current through the module PCB and the viaās or platting there which is pushing things a bit imho
Thanks for the advice, didnāt really think about that while I was testing the setup.
hello,
after various tests and builds Iāve come up with two āevolutionsā to @Jau design. Evolution is a big word, basically rearranging a few bits to make things happen. Only item changed from his original design is the D1 which is out of stock on JLCPCB. Ah, and added the external TempSensor in a way that itās easy to cut away but since itās actually connected with tracks to the ext connector JLCPCB consider it as one board and wont charge extra. Even if you donāt cut it off it will report temps (admittedly quite similar to the internal sensor onesā¦)
LishenEVE_v1.7ovF
which adds a larger oval on the pads where the battery terminals fit enabling easier 89-91mm spacing and adds jumpers to be able to disconnect the module for updating firmware without taking the whole battery apart.
Zip file to send to JLCPCB (unzip the file and thereās the gerber and the two csvs):

72-123mm_v1.8F
second version goes a bit further by enabling terminal spacing from 72 to 123mm. Main reason for doing it is that EVE 304 changed to 123mm spacing out of the 90mm and seems to be impossible to know for sure what youāre actually ordering from Chinaā¦ Considering that shipments from there take 2m+ I feel itās better to be safe than sorry.
Zip file for JLCPCB:

NOTE- Missing bits:
ATTiny (as alwaysā¦)
Q1 Mosfet (tried another one but didnāt work, so has to be ordered separately, it is available and relatively easy to solder)
JST-2-PTH side connectors also missing, easy to solder and decide which side (or one each) suits your setup.
thanks to all involved hope that helps someone!
cheers
