    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    The balancer leds turns on when cell voltage differences are >0.2V. This should not happen between 3V and 3.5V cell voltages on equal and balanced cells. The balancing current of such balancer is usually lower than 1A. This may be enough for new and equal cells with small capacity...

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    The 36 BLS cells (200Ah Brand ETC) I bought 14 months ago are used as 2 * 52V banks in parallel (32 cells). I expected to get about 20KW storage from new cells but 15KW was really the max in the beginning due to large cell capacity differences. Now after 14 months I hardly have 10KW available...

    Cheap 100W Chinese Solar panels: Experiences with Ecoworthy and Xinpuguang

    Of course during the year the conditions are usually not optimal and it's normal to get less power. But I compare with my other panels; so if these deliver max power, the others should also deliver max.

    Cheap 100W Chinese Solar panels: Experiences with Ecoworthy and Xinpuguang

    When new panels are rated 100W and deliver that power in bright sun at normal ambient temperature then it must deliver the same output 1 year later in the same conditions. Losing 20% after 10 years is normal, not after 1 year. My panels with 5 busbars did not loose any power in 3 years.

    Cheap 100W Chinese Solar panels: Experiences with Ecoworthy and Xinpuguang

    XINPUGUANG brand: In 2019 I bought 12 X 100W Solarpanels from Aliexpress / XINPUGUANG. Dealer is ok, neat product, well packed, 75$/pc. These panels have cells with 2 wires (busbars), only 1 bypass diode. Some crimped cables became loose in the junctionbox. I soldered them all. I got 1200W in...

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    N Sorry, Supervstech, I was too fast with my answer :)

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    You are right. It's my word against others. This discussions are too long already. I have tried to warn people not to invest so much money in such risky batteries. If you want to buy from BLS, just do it; after all it is your money.

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    Sorry, I really do not believe you. I post a screencopy from a 2 months old chat with BLS and a couple of hours later you can post the full chat as an ordinary customer! What kind of company sends private customer communication to other customers just to prove they are right?? You are Mr...

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    For those who read the full chat: another BLS lie: The promise of free return is fake to get customers trust. It's absolutely impossible to send such cells into China, no matter what the reason is, it will be rejected by customs. And it would cost more than the cell to send such heavy...

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    I think you ARE BLS ! Who else can have the full version? I thought already from your first reply as new member and your writing style. So you did not buy 175 and 150Ah cells that performs well. Always lying about everything.

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    You don’t know why I want to warn other people about BLS? Losing 4900€ getting 36 end of life cells instead of new, is that a good reason for you? Your cells perform well. What does that mean? Did you do any tests other than connecting your load and getting some power? Any measurement to...

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    BLS battery is the worst of all Chinese sellers I have dealt with. They seem to be reliable and correct at first sight but the real face shows up when you have issues that may cost money to them. Forget the warranty, financial compensations, the promises and the quality. They are first class...

    BLS 4x 3.2V 200Ah LiFePO4 - voltage difference between cells

    You are free to buy where and what you want but you should know that BLS and most other Aliexpress high capacity Lifepo4 sellers are actually recyclers. They buy end of life battery packs that may have 2000 or more cycles already. They disassemble; clean up the cells and apply new covers and...

    How to verify BMS (Daly) is working?

    Hmmm, I don't know. Seems to be overpriced for a 8S concept with small LCD. It has a separate power input for the CPU over a buck converter with separate ground. Seems unnecessary with large battery power available. Mosfets are very small to drive 4-5 Amps. If very low RDSon, ok. I doubt...
