I mean at $.31 for 5.1kWh how many can I order, lol

Yeah it looks like either he deleted, or it was deleted by admin. So it's not just you that can't find him.

Now imagine if Amazons first year had been taking orders and not filling them, but keeping the money. So that’s a far left field analogy. End of the day, if you start a business with no investment and plan to operate it off others’ then it’s ponzi, period.

At the same time, if he has/had inventory to sell, those cells could be used to make some of these folks who are left holding the bag “whole”. And I’m not sure there are tons of investors out there who want to buy into a negative entity that has only Accts Payable and no Accts Receivable. End of...

It's not the "stupidest post" you could possibly make; there are lots of valid points. However, your experiences are actually part of the problem in this situation. No one is doubting that China is 'difficult to deal with'; that goes without saying. But rather, it's where the similarities end...

It looks like a really good buy compared to what's on the market. I'll be watching and hoping it holds up. Paying $5k for a smaller sized Honda just never did appeal to me.

I'm a "Yank", so always think in Farenheit :cool:

I’m afraid that HDPE melts at 235 degrees while lithium burns closer to 2000 degrees. I love starboard, and have used it a lot on my boat, but it won’t save you from a fire I’m afraid.

I have a feeling that by the end of February, beginning of March, anyone who needs a battery will come running to the DIY community once they've been given a price for that 24/36/48v 150 Ah and up battery. The market is currently trying to prepare folks for what's downstream, but as usual, most...

I can't get my head wrapped around how a BMS would even know that it's paired up in parallel? I can understand the series configuration but in parallel, we all know that each battery will handle up to it's limit. I'm sure I'm missing something, but at the moment, sounds like a lot of "we don't...

Did you top balance your cells in parallel, or immediately put them into series and charged them up? Safer to assume that EVERY cell you encounter needs top balancing, mainly because of the very flat discharge rates of LifePo4.

You know it's getting bad when people are pointing fingers at each other and getting mad at strangers. End of the day, this whole thing is a horrible mess. You really can't defend Michael and it's because of his own statements; "Those of you that ordered the Lishen 271ah cells don't need to...

What if the life-giving-force isn't the same as the life-taking-force?

It might be time to start a new thread of who is left holding the bag at this point. 8 months is a long, long time. Sorry for everyone involved.

If this is the completed install, can we safely assume you're not using a BMS? If that's the case, to be both the safest for your home, and to answer your OP question, a BMS is recommended.
