    They have likely been sent via rail freight. There is a stop in Warsaw and it takes 12 days to get there from China which correlates with your dates. China Rail Freight across Europe Apart from the UK (London), here are some other European Routes/Schedules China – Warsaw (Poland) 12 days China...
  • Post in thread: Any UK/EU based DIYers considering buying LiFePo4 cells?

    Hi guys. I'm looking to order 100 X 280Ah EVE cells by the end of the week and get them put on a pallet. That will expedite the delivery as it will come straight out of the shipping container and on to the delivery vehicle. Smaller orders are put onto mixed pallets by the shipping agents and...

    Hi All. Just wondered if there are any DIYers in the UK or EU that are considering buying LiFePo4 cells from China? I'm in the process of arranging a big shipment of cells to the UK and therefore would be able to offer an opportunity to get involved. Depending on the level of interest, I can...

    It just seems odd for the package to be picked up by UPS in Poland 12 days after you ordered. There's no way the package departed China by sea and arrived in Poland in only 12 days. By the way, how much did you pay for delivery to Eire and how many cells did you order?

    Hi Pete, I'm hoping to order this coming week. That should mean they will arrive before the end of August.

    It depends on your requirements. The SBMS0 from Electrodacus is a good choice as it can double as a solar charge controller with the additional 20amp modules. The next choice would be Daly BMS or AntBMS which are more of a plug and play option. Then if you wanted to save some money and build...

    Hi Kev, I'd say somewhere between £90-95 per cell depending on the £ to $ exchange rate and the number you opt for. That will include VAT and Import Duty which is payable to HMRC on all goods brought into the UK from countries outside the EU. The price should also cover delivery to your...

    That will be the new version hopefully, so worth the wait in my opinion. The requirement for low temp charging protection will depend a lot on where you keep the cells and how they will be charged. I'll be storing my cells indoors and the temperature therefore won't ever fall to anywhere near...

    Hi Pete, There's no lower limit on the number of cells you can purchase, but there will be less delivery costs to pay once I forward them on to you the more cells you purchase. I think I'm going to wait for the Electrodacus BMS and use the extra solar charge controller facility it has.
