    CATL 271Ah cell issues.

    CATL 271Ah cell issues.

    I'm might be in the same boat - I just haven't received mine yet. I have a UPS tracking number but no info on it. Starting to think Michael was swindled. I was in the Lishen 272 order .. then when that took forever, I took his offer for the CATL 280s ... then that was switched to EVE 280s...

    3x 240 Watt - please check my thoughts

    Thank you for the responses! .... I do think I can get 4 panels and wire as 2s2p .. but am happy to know that my thoughts on a 3s would work as well. Thank you both! My panel stand/mount is 10' long but I think I can make it 14' long .. these panels are wide at 39" Much appreciated!

    Dead Panel?

    Just FYI .. apparently I made the noobie mistake of not drawing enough amps in order for it to display a difference. Once I added a larger load, I saw more appropriate result. Thank you all o_O

    Dead Panel?

    I had one Rich 12v 100 watt mono panel and wanted another and bought the same thing from Amazon but the second one looks different. Anyway... When I connected the second, I didn't see any change in amps. So I disconnected it and with the original panel, I get: 19V, 3.8A at the charge...
