Last weekend was the first real test of my SOK batteries. I camped out in the woods for 4 days with no hook ups. I have 2 206ah SOKs in parallel. The batteries are hooked to my Camper and also a 2000watt Inverter charger. I was able to make coffee each morning with a Keurig. I ran the...

The tracking will not update until the battery clears US customs. About 10 days in my case. My 2 206ah batteries were shipped from California once they arrived from China and cleared customs. I asked Min about updating the tracking sooner and he said that it is an issue with their Forwarder...

I am trying to charge Lifepo4 batteries with a Freedom SW 2012. I am curious if you were able to figure out the settings. I get the constant current, but the batteries want to charge at 14.6V and the charger seems to vary voltage with constant current. Is there a way to get the charger to...

The SOK is using prismatic type cells which have a lower charge current. The BB use more of the smaller cells that can take a higher charge current. The SOK battery is pretty similar to what people usually build themselves, but comes with warranty. That is why I went that route. So far I am...

The case shows max charge rate is 50A. Min recommends 40A. The GFB datasheet shows standard charge current is 1/3C which is 68.6A.

Yep that is what I did. Confused the 2. Cells vs. Battery kit.

Great info thank you. Seems like SOK is a smaller company and making some mistakes, but still a good value. I am glad that Min is responsive to feedback. At the cost of the cells, I figured the BMS and case were close to Free. The previous datasheet said Sinopoly and the package shipped from...

I just opened the box on the 200ah version and it says recommended max charge current up to 50amps. The sinopoly dataset shows continuous 66amps for the cells.

I should finally receive the 200ah battery today. Long lead time, 26 days, but the website showed 25 days, so I guess they were right. From what I have read and watched and think the wait will be worth it to get double the capacity for half the price. I will let you know how the battery is...

I bought the 200ah version. Waiting for it to ship. I think it will be a good battery for the price. Putting it in my Host camper with a xantrex freedom sw 2012 2000 watt inverter charger. Pretty excited to try it out. Did Sok update the website when yours shipped? Mine still shows as...
