Then started to work on the cutting boards Test fit And a real test fit to measure where I need to cut the all thread Next I used a grinder then sanded the all thread so the nuts would go on Assembly

I could not recommend Basen, my order with them has been deceptive since they shipped. I received the same note in my order. I think they will say anything to make the sell, withhold important information until you have no agency to act on it, then just play the idk game

Made a electric campsite reservation this weekend so I hope to get 4 cells charged up, currently I have one sitting at 3.5 something and another at 3.33. Going to dump 10amps into these cells all weekend. I stopped by homedepot tonight and got some tools for putting everything together and a...

I have seen videos from the offgrid solar guys testing his 280 and only getting 265... while he doesn't have a lab with perfect conditions for me that would still be great. I current live full time in my van with 250 ah agms (2 6volts) and they are getting tired. Even at 80percent battery return...

Hello everyone, I am beginning to mature a new battery/charging system for my van and will document the process with a hope for feedback from members and to help any new members, such as myself with their endeavors. Batteries: 8 Lishen 272ah cells BMS: 2 JBD 120amp Solar: 400 watts MTTP...

Sheila, while she is pleasant she is refusing to send a new cell even after acknowledging the images and unbocking video I send detailing the dented cell. I kept letting the deception go, them sending the wrong cells without asking and the refund calamity... but now with the refusal to send a...

I think another forum member stated the Terminal connectors I have are cheap metal... and that might have played into the battery ah balance issue... I ordered and installed before searching, but over the winter with my espar running all day the 25ah+ difference was a issue so that's when I...

I ordered 8 cells, my first DIY battery and purchase with Alibaba so I'm am excited and equally nervous

I would like to purchase 280Ah battery packs from aliexpress for a DIY 560Ah battery system at 12volts for my campervan. When I search Aliexpress I find 280Ah with a plethora of listings, some saying prismatic, some saying for Solar Ev....all with different prices and sellers...I am hoping for...

Please do not think I was pointing blame, I am just trying to learn and do not assume you did anything wrong.. Do you thinknit is possible that something in the corner closest to the wall started the fire and not the batteries?

My order said DAP but after chatting with the vendor they said all orders are DDP, door to door

I purchased eve from basen, they sent lishens without any agency to object. They said they would refund the monetary difference, they send a PayPal that deducted a few dollars from my refund for the transaction... PayPal required a tracking number to relinquish the funds... Sheila said to use...

After all the help you've given me, I'm hear for moral support!!!

I'm in Colorado and our days are really short right now so I feel your solar pain

Well, I guess I am too excited to start having power so I am laying right next to the batteries and checking the voltage every few minutes and will drop the charger way down when 3.5 hits... I just need to maximize the sunny day

Interesting... what are your reason for electing this path? Curious and not judging, I have no working knowledge, just curious

No washers, the nuts have a flange to them

My cells arrived yesterday and are currently warming up after their travels. They arrived with either 3.24 or 3.25 voltage, hopefully thats okay. Tonight I plan on starting to get supplies to compress the batteries to top balance to 3.6, my charger does not have the ability to do 3.65 so 3.6 it...

Thanks, I agree, I haven't decided if I want to have a free floating peice of birch resting between a cut similar to the handles or of I want to add more all thread at the bottom for them to rest.

I use to have the Orion as my only dc to dc charger, now I have a 280amp dual altenator, and the 30amps from the orion lol (I just kept it so if needed I can toggle it to charge the van's battery)... its night and day... still have 400watt solar, which is good in the summer months. I only have...

I rented another campsite this weekend to be able to run a few ceramic heaters and to charge my cells. My espar head unit is somewhere lost in Utah so I had no choice. It was like Christmas when this happened I built my busbars and started to layout my equipment... the layout without taking...

Another piece of the puzzle showed up today, thank you @upnorthandpersonal for the suggestion. Now I just need to test flattening copper pipe to create ends for the cells terminals or just using copper lugs and crimping them down

Yeah, but I like the dual altenator setup, and at 280amps... I should be able to charge everything up great... when/if starlink ever comes to mobile applications and Colorado I might need the roof for satellite space so the solar might need to go. My 400watts was great with 250ah agms, but now...

I ordered 8 Eve cells from Basen and wanted to provide feedback so other members are aware of the events. First I ordered Eve and was told after shipping they were sending Lishen, they made this election without asking me. Second, they did refund a small portion for the cells price difference...

After seeing your post I watched a video where these firemen stress tested three different battery technology, Lifepo4 being one... and in their video over charging just caused the battery to bloat and spit out acid, I assume, or some kind of liquid, but it never caught on fire. Not saying it...

This is my first order, so I have little experience...but it seems like everyone is getting their batteries and they are of good quality... so I would not stress it... you might send a message to document the event just encase something happens

I agree, I ordered the overkill 120a bms which I do believe has an app so I think it is configurable. I also have coming the victron 712 with shunt and low temp coming to monitor my system... It still seems some like the battery protect and if I am understand some don't think it's necessary... I...

Also would you get the Victron Battery Protect 100a or 220a for 560ah and a 3k inverter and 12volt components?

Thank you, I ordered 304... My braided line are in LA and I am looking forward to getting those home... I am considering using copper lugs to attach them, thoughts? I suppose sandwiching them between flattened copper pipe could supply more contact area on the cell post, possibly
