    Yes shampeon, but what I don't get is why the seller would send me that image which proves they are scammers, or is it the case that these sellers don't have a clue about the products that they are selling, and that they are quite happy to put 100ah stickers on 50ah batteries and sell them as...

    To be fair Steve, I have never bought from AliBaba and have only used AliExpress over the last few years, and apart from my battery purchase I have never had an issue, but will give AliBaba a view for my next purchase. Thanks for the heads up on LMFP that does look the way forward, and NMC 532...

    Just an update, the seller has now changed the brand on there batteries from DGIN with Yellow label, to POWD with Blue label, I still have my full refund and there has been no word from AliExpress or the seller, and my CC company has made no further comment, so I am hoping that is the end of...

    Just another update, feedback on the sellers site shows other buyers with the same issue, I cant post my feedback as my order has been frozen due to the full refund that I got, these sellers are real clowns, wasting everyone's time, not to mention money.
  • Post in thread: Did I get scammed for $3100? Vpment 12v 200ah batteries a scam? They only weigh 34lbs.

    Hi oregonsun, I have been there and got the "T" Shirt. from start to finish mine was a 6 month headache, the price you paid is similar to the $196 that I paid for a single 100ah battery that turned out to be a 50ah battery, like you it was the weight of the battery that started the alarm bells...

    Can you guys confirm that I am correct in saying that it would be impossible for a LiFeP04 Drop In battery size Group 27 to only weigh 6.6kg (14.50lb) even the Li Time Mini weighs 8.60kg (19lbs) although I think the Li Time Mini uses Pouch Cells, and not Prismatic which I am assuming my battery...

    Noticed that AliExpress gave another buyer a 30% refund for there 100ah battery which was only 50ah, and to get that the buyer had to provide a 10hr ! video of the capacity test, surly the buyer should have got at least a 50% refund, although I would have argued for 100% refund in order to teach...

    Well another twist in this sorry tale, AliExpress have opened a case to retrieve the money refunded to me, from my CC, anyways I have done the Tear Down of the battery now, and as expected the Cells are 50ah and the BMS 50 amp, cable to the battery terminal is 10awg for both + & - if that is not...

    Cool Steve S, my requirements are in little league, just wanted a 100ah battery for camping duties to replace my 120ah SLA battery which weighs 26kg with it's 600w PSW 230v inverter from 2015, having said that I am now looking to get a 200w Solar Panel & MPPT controller. I have beefed up the...

    Thanks' for your comments Steve, this unit was my first LiFeP04 build, and I have kind of got the bug now, next version will be using a 2000w PSW inverter, just need to make my mind up about sticking with 12v or go the whole hog and use 48v, will save me a bit on copper wire if nothing else.
