Great for powering my 500w kettle, also included a push button non latching pre-charge resistor circuit in the build to help prolong the life of the main battery power switch, probably overkill for a 500w inverter system but cant do any harm, and one day will use all the hardware to build a...

Hi folks, not sure if I am posting this in the correct section, but Will advised me to mention this so others can avoid, I bought a battery from Aliexpress back in June this year advertised as 100ah, at $197 ok I know what your thinking, that has to be to good to be true, and guess what it was...

Hopefully this link works, just a video I have done, may be of use to others, go easy on me, it's my first ever video.

Yep, kommando seller is now saying that there add states min 50ah to max 100ah this is normal they say, funny that the seller only brings that to the party after over a month of conflict, I retorted and said my order confirmation clearly states 100ah, and the battery has a huge sticker on it...

Interestingly the sellers listing on AliExpress now states that they do not ship to the UK, there are 79 reviews on the listing and all are positive giving the max 5 Stars rating, the seller has yet to respond to AliExpress who have started the dispute process, the deadline for the seller to...

Start voltage was 14.40v having fully charged the battery with a 14.60v 20amp Lifep04 specific charger, the stop voltage was 0 as the BMS shut down the battery when it was depleted, I checked charge current using a DC clamp meter, and also used the clamp meter whilst conducting the Capacity...

Hi lexio use this number in the search bar and it will take you to the product listing. 1005005088334210 The seller is still asking for me to provide more information, don't even know why they are still communicating with me, maybe it's a AliExpress compliance thing, to give them some...

Well just an update, my Credit Card company has refunded my full payment, and the seller has not collected the battery within the 16 days legal notice given, so that's a result. I am not sure who bares the cost, is it the Credit Card company, is it AliExpress, or could it be the seller who...

Well there you go, I put that 50ah battery to good use, and built a poor mans Jackery 500, albeit my version has more capacity and more charge cycles, only caveat is that my version's weight is 9kg whilst the Jackery is just 5kg, but the Jackery is £600 to buy here in the UK, and my little unit...

I think though the above photo tells it's own story, even for those with no idea about batteries.

Yep SamG340, in some ways it is a hollow victory as I really needed a 100ah battery to run a small portable power pack build with 1000w PSW inverter, an upgrade to be fair from my old SLA 120ah 500w PSW inverter portable power pack, which weighs a back breaking 26kg (60lb) Anyway I have decided...

The seller has now sent me a video of there operation, although I don't know what it proves, it looks like they are using the same Group 27 case for the 50ah & 100ah batteries, if they are not scammers they would have realised that the weight of the 100ah battery that they sent to me was the...

Yep kommando, the saying used to be, buyer beware, now it's scammer beware, to be fair I have never had an issue with other Chinese sellers on AliExpress or Ebay, and I have bought a number off things over the last 20 years, I think I will wait now for the more recognised brands like Li Time and...

Yep, think those 10awg cables need to be changed for 8awg at the very least.

Yep Steve S, the 50ah battery was used to build a poor mans Jackery 500, using a group 24 battery box and Epever 500w PSW 220v inverter, so quite a compact portable power pack, thanks for the heads up on the background music sound on the video, I will speak to my producer about that ! thankfully...

This is quite good entertainment to be fair, and I am amazed that the seller is still communicating with me, although he/she does seem a little upset at the moment, I think loosing a 50ah battery and indirectly refunding me $200 has not gone down so well, funny when the boot is on the other...

Yet more buyers have now posted negative feedback and images of the same battery, unfortunately I am unable to give my feedback on the sellers AliExpress site, as they have frozen my order which is a bit naughty of AliExpress to be fair, it's as though AliExpress wants to protect these scammers...

I like what Fogstar are doing here the UK, having been ripped off when I bought a 100ah from DGL Battery Store in China via AliExpress, that turned out to be only 50ah, although I did get a full refund and ended up with the 50ah battery for free, so every cloud as they say. But lesson learned...

The seller has sent me this image, saying this is the weight of the 100ah battery that they sent me, 5.90kg. Please correct me if I am wrong, but a 100ah battery can not weigh as little as 5.90kg it would have to be 9.75kg at the very least to be a 100ah battery.

My poor mans Jackery 500 is working great, for defrosting my car before I set of to work in the early mornings, now it's starting to get cold here in North West UK, using a 400w PTC ceramic heater, the heater runs for over an hour no problem, also been using the unit for powering my 300w ac...

Hi DBarr, not to fussed to be fair, this was my first ever purchase of a Lifep04 battery, and hopefully Aliexpress and my Credit Card company will get my $197 back to me, what happens to the battery is anyone's guess, but I have advised the scammer that they have 16 days to collect it or it will...

Hi Alkaline, AliExpress said that my capacity tests results were not acceptable as I had not used a industrial/professional tester, so that was case closed, lucky for me my CC card company did accept my findings, and gave me a full refund, to be fair this was the best result ever, as other...

The above is how I set up the "Capacity Tester" set it to 10amp and just let it run,

Wow, the seller is having a sale now, just $178 for the alleged 100ah battery, they claim to have sold 217 units, I wonder how many other buyers have bothered to capacity test there battery or even noticed that it only performs for 50% of it's claimed 100ah capacity. Could have been worse though...
