    18650 store EVE LF280K & busbar

    Hi, I am ordering 64 EVE LF380K batteries today. The bulk pricing is (and has been ) a bit messed up. The boss agreed to sell them for $149 as the price goes up if I put over 15 in my cart. Will be using overkill solar 48v BMS again. Was able to get shipping down to $450 (approx 800 lbs) by...

    Who has first hand knowledge of a 120v mini split watt hours in a 24 hour day

    I have Carrier 18k BTU minisplits with a SEER around 20 (I'd have to check Costco). These use about 1800 watts at full power max fan. I don't care what the inverter/low power mode is because it may kick to high power (max 7200 watt inverter). Did the best I can insulating a concrete block house...

    BATTERY SELLERS - THE GOOD, BAD, UGLY -- or Jenny (DOCAN) so far so good ...

    Great thanks!!! I'm totally off grid in Cabo San Lucas, MX. Can run three mini-split 18000 AC's from 9 to 5 but....I'm lacking battery power (48v setup). I'm just glad prices have not gone out of control since January 2022.

    If you don't want the 48v (which I assume is like Overkill), just PM me and I'll PayPal you the cost plus shipping to California. Did you get the Bluetooth add on? I'm using it one one battery pack now.

    Voltage spike read on SCC, inverter shutoff, voltage drop and inverter back on

    I'm having this problem on an OutBack FM80 using Overkill solar 16s. I had to watch the LED display and for some reason it is hitting like 60v or something....which shuts off my BMS. To fix, I just kept dropping the charging voltage (not on it now) at increments of .1 till it stopped. I've used...

    LifePO4 Cables to 12KW Inverter

    I have a 12kw Outback Radian inverter. I'm running 2 AWG from four batteries to a Victron Lynx Distributor. I'll be running two pair of 4 gauge from the Lynx distributor to the Radian and two pair to my 7.2kw Flexpower. I never plan on draining anything close to that from the batteries at night...

    Great to hear. I'll be ordering at least 32 in about two weeks when I drive back to the US (in Cabo). What have LiFePO4 prices done in a year? How much have they jumped up in price? This is for an off-grid house in Mexico.

    Off-grid New construction

    You absolutely need to find out ASAP if you're allowed to build a house without being connected to PG&E. My mom was having Tesla Powerwalls installed and the guy said it was not legal to be off grid (who knows). If you're allowed to go off grid, congrats and you need more than $45k. You can...

    Order placed - the wait begins!

    What is the advantage having them come from China and not Texas? Shipping costs? I am located in California and need at least 32 Eve 280ah batteries. Why did you chose the 280 over the 304?

    Amy Wan (Shenzhen Luyuan) is out of stock. Are there other known reliable dealers?

    What is the difference between ordering from China or Texas? Price? I need 32 cells (to start with). Is LF280K the recommended cell for running off grid house? Just setup one 48v battery bank using the cells from my Amazon SHUNBIN using Overkill 16s BMS with Heltec equalizer/balancer based off...

    I'll be pulling the trigger on 16 or 32 cells in the next two weeks. Everyone still on board that these are good cells at a good price? I just saw Tony's PDF and 8 cells for $1300 or so is a lot better than what I saw in Will's video from November (4 cells for $1100).
