    So are you saying you are ok that you only got scammed out of $50?

    If you had a boat. :)

    WFCO Auto-Detect Converter Does Not Auto-Detect

    So, you can solve this problem in about an hour and install a new converter [I would go with something that could push some serious amps] or spend years and thousands of dollars fighting a large corporation. Have at it, but, I would just purchase a new converter with an old school switch...

    Lifepo4 for 350 amp?

    Cheap is not an insult, sorry you take it that way.

    Lifepo4 for 350 amp?

    And some people are waiting for months and never receiving a product. So we are comparing apples to apples, the JBD BMS's I purchased were around $80, none were even close to $52.

    Lifepo4 for 350 amp?

    It's what companies do. They buy a product and sell it at a profit. That supports the staff and the service that they provide. I doubt if JBD has a support staff if there are any problems. We all should look at ourselves and support the local community. At least the good ones. I get if you are...

    Stripped Threads

    If I recall, Andy at OGG posted a video using a standard [vs metric] stud and just screwed it in. It was slightly larger and no taps were used. Of course, I would not trust my memory but a quick search would allow you to watch the simple repair he did.

    Need assistance. Renogy 3000w inverter tripping internal GFI with Air Conditioner

    I cannot see why you would want to run a cable that could not supply 300A to an inverter that can produce 3000W. I understand copper is expensive, but buying copper that will not be used what so ever is even more expensive.

    Renogy DC DC Charger w/ MPPT

    I look at stuff like that as it can run 'up to' 50A or 'up to' 30A. When it comes to heat being generated, I like knowing watts. For some reason, I can wrap my head around watts as heat vs amps.

    Renogy DC DC Charger w/ MPPT

    I rarely ever lean towards lighter duty. I would rather see a item work at 60% to give you your needs vs 100%. Means nothing and it's all mental, I get it, but it still does not change my mine.

    32 310 ah Grade A Lifepo4 cells shipped free from China. TGTBT?

    Seriously? You spent time opening an ad with prices that low and opened a thread asking if it is worth it?

    CATL LF280 280Ah from DOCAN

    Couldn't you just check the actual weight? I would think there would be a slight difference.. Without a doubt, buying batteries can be a crap shoot, but isn't everything that way now? There are ways to keep the odds in your favor. Usually, it costs a few dollars more.

    Lifepo4 for 350 amp?

    I purchased mine from this Aliexpress company. Twice! I got the BMS in about 3 weeks. I wish I can say their returns are easy, but there was nothing wrong to return. Just works. Of course, there are some vendors that will steal from you, but there are some good ones and if you are not in a...

    Lifepo4 for 350 amp?

    Everyone has their preference. If you research, you will find what makes people feel good. Right now, I do have a Daly 200A, but I will be replacing it with a JBD 200A to match the other two batteries. People can be tribal on what works for them. It's ok if people are different. In the end, you...

    Lifepo4 for 350 amp?

    Do as you wish, but if you have not purchased a Daly, there are cheaper/better BMS's out there.
