these are 280Ah .. the server rack batteries 100AhI'm new at this but why would you buy these over a cheaper 48volt rack mount battery for $1500?. I don't get it. What is the difference in power in a 48v configuration?
I ordered mine on April 25th and they showed up May 4th. My order said processing the whole time. I sent an email requesting an update so they emailed me the tracking number. I just checked and my order still says processing even though they were delivered May 4th.Just letting anyone following know. I ordered 16 cells on Monday the 2nd, it's now Tuesday the 10th and they are still showing processing. Probably not going to see these popping up on your porch as fast as OP.
My order did.Where are these shipping out from? CA?
I ordered 8 cells and 2 BMS from the website on April 23. My order was still processing on the weekend so I messaged them asking for an update. Was told the order would process and ship this week, and would take about 50-60 days to reach Canada. It's still showing processing on my ordering page. I'm tempted to look into another option at this point, but the price and product seemed hard to beat from Basen.Has anyone tried shipping to canada from this site? The shipping doesn't seem outrageous at all.
Can anyone comment on why this specific cell is less expensive? Any reason to avoid this cell vs others listed, 280AH is 280AH in my view, unless I am missing somethingKeeping everyone updated. Finally got mine on the 27th so 25 days from payment/order to delivery. I've only opened one box so far and they looked good.
I can't find my calipers anywhere, can anyone else who received these tell me what size posts you got? I tried reaching out to basen over the weekend to ask but they never responded. I don't want to buy new calipers, as soon as I do I'll find the old ones lol.
Now I'm no expert, but after watching a video on how to tell the difference between zinc plated and stainless steel, I'd say these are indeed zinc plated.@nebulight - Every photo you posted of your cells gives a blue hue to the threaded posts. That makes them look like zinc plated steel rather than stainless. Can you tell in person what material they are? It probably doesn't matter unless you are in a higher humidity environment.
The 311.2Ah in the picture is only how much went into the cell. That's not really the capacity test. It is the discharge that is important, although these cells should be in the high 90's in terms of percentage efficiency.
