Got an updated delivery date. Mine are delayed and will now arrive on January 11. I hope this is not the beginning of a pattern.
Jakiper and LiFePower4 in parallel

I ordered a 24V 100Ah SOK battery on 12/17/21 and had 5 days later a Jakiper JK24V100 delivered to me. I inquired about this and a SOK battery representative named Min emailed me back, saying that the SOK 24V 100Ah and the JK24V100 are the same battery with the same warranty and all.

Wow! I guess the cat is out of the bag who Jakiper is making batteries for. Or the other way around. Will vaguely mentioned some connection of Jakiper in his video. Thanks for the info.

I wrote to the shipping company (ABF Freight), they informed me that there is a major backlog and a shortage of drivers. My batteries are sitting in ABF Freight's center in San Bernadino, CA awaiting a truck for loading. They cannot give me a delivery date. The delivery date will change on their tracking as the shipment is delayed. I hope this is not a long wait.

Out of curiosity, I checked my tracking number to see if there was a change in the expected delivery date. After midnight of each day, it automatically adds another day to the estimated delivery date. So, until the batteries are loaded onto a truck and see movement, there is no way to get any idea when the order will be delivered. Nuf said!

My box contained a well packaged battery and that was it. I really would have appreciated an owners manual and/or a datasheet. But no ....

Mine were picked up too, and are on the way. They haven't left the freight companies loading dock yet. Still sitting there.

Well the delivery date didn’t change overnight, and the status says in transit so for now I remain hopeful

Has anyone actually received the Jakiper battery? If so, when did you order it? I ordered mine on Dec 3. At the time, their website showed it as "in stock". I paid for it and was told to expect delivery about Dec 15. As of today, my order still shows as "in process".
I have contacted them several times now and received the same excuses as everyone else. Pictures of batteries sitting on palettes, expected ship dates of 'any time now'.
I can understand customs delays and short-staffed shipping companies, but at some point they need to bite the bullet and get these on a truck through FedEx or UPS or *something* to meet their commitment. At their expense.
Anyone reading this who is considering pre-ordering a Jakiper battery might want to seriously consider an alternative. Might cost a bit more with shipping, but at least you'll actually receive it.

I placed my order on December 4th, and my batteries are at the freight company in San Bernadino awaiting a truck for loading. My order now shows "Completed" on my Jakiper account. Speaking for myself only, I don't think I will be seeing my batteries for a long time. The estimated delivery date changes everyday after midnight by one extra day.
No help for those stuck waiting but here is another option to consider for others :

Growatt branded 48v battery
I happened to see this and had not seen it mentioned on the forum : https://watts247.com/product/growatt-lifepo4-48v-rack-mount-floor-standing-stack-able-100ah-4-8kwh-battery-with-bms-comms/ Listed as “in stock”. I have no affiliation with either company.

Called AFB freight today to find out why there is no movement with my batteries. They explained to me that there was a billing issue that is unresolved, and they hope it is cleared up soon. Till then, my batteries sit in Limbo. I don’t know what to think now.

The battery has M8 screw terminals. Use a 5/16 lug.

Good luck man, that sucks. My delivery date or the Freightera site is still holding firm for the 13th so I remain cautiously optimistic, but my carrier is also ABF so ...

Hopefully tomorrow, freight company site says mine has arrived at the PA terminal and should be loading out to my area tomorrow. Says it weighs 170#, but I only ordered 1 so I'm a bit confused unless it is on one hell of a pallet

I am also in PA, mine are still in San Bernardino. Strange. 170lbs is rather heavy for a 100lb battery. I hope yours arrive on time and all is well with them. Enjoy!

Heard from ABF last night, they're going to deliver on Monday afternoon (Thursday at their doc in Chester). She described it as a pallet of Lithium Ion batteries but I'm taking at as the dispatcher just not knowing. I did reach out to the Jakiper team to see if they could explain the discrepancy?
What part of PA? I may need help moving the thing
