    Alibaba 280ah purchase CONFUSION

    Personally, I wouldn't take any single view in isolation on this or any other forum. Put the research in and that's the best you can ask. It seems lots of people are buying from Alibaba with great success and the cells are working well. Wills youtube channel has tested several B grade cells that...

    Paralleling 2 x 100a BMS' on a 12v 4s config

    Understood, I'm stuck with 12v now, too far down the line with Victron 2000w Multiplus inverter 2/0 cabling etc. Any comments on the potential issues of balancing whilst running two bms' on 4S system.

    Paralleling 2 x 100a BMS' on a 12v 4s config

    Is this advisable on a 12v 4S setup.? I watched a year old video from @Will Prowse when he paralleled 2x60 daly bms' but didn't advise running a continuous 120a load for any duration. More like 80-90a. Nor was there any discussion the on what effect this would have on the balancing of the cells...

    Hi Steve, could you offer any advice regards hooking two of these JBD 100a BMS in parallel? for pulling say 150a continuous? @Will Prowse did a video a year ago on paralleling two 60a daly bms' i think and he was relatively happy but he advised d-rating them to maybe 80-90amps. He didnt cover...

    Battery case for a 4S 280a setup with 200A BMD

    Hi guys, Has anyone managed to source a plastic traditional style battery box that can house a 4S 280a configuration and has room for a 200A BMS. I plan on using a smart Daly BMS which it is a bit on the bulky side.

    Alibaba 280ah purchase CONFUSION

    I thought this was a helpful insight into grade A and B cells for folks that are interested. It's put together by a local trying to educate westerners about battery tech. The company is called Seplos and have a YouTube channel with other useful resource videos. Also posted by dzl on another thread.

    Alibaba 280ah purchase CONFUSION

    Steve, it's my pleasure to be acquainted online, if I am honest I had hoped you would pass comment. As I have been brought up in a Frank, and 'tell it how it is' household your crustiness as you put it, is not a bad thing. I am sorry to hear of your personal situation and wish you only the best...

    Lishen 272ah Cells Aluminum Case Positive?

    Apologies, I was referring to Battleborn in that instance but I think you get the theme of the message. This is the Chinese we are talking about, I don't think printing UL or CE logos is beyond there scope. ?
