Just a warning that if you reach out to these guys, you'll never get rid of them. They send me spam constantly despite blocking them and telling them with increasing assertiveness to lose my address. The biggest issue I have is that these technically inept spammers include my address along with a hundred more rather than hiding the distribution list. God knows how many mailing lists I'm on now with every new, unprofessional email.

Their batteries might be great. I'll never know - I went with Signature Solar. But I can tell you they're wholly unprofessional with their correspondence. Get on their radar at your peril is all I'm saying. If you must contact them, use a disposable email address.

I have not had that problem at all, and I have done a lot of business with them. Sounds like an anomaly to me. I deal with them via Alibaba, and not email though.

Yes, they did the same to me, however I use sneakemail and can turn off the email address whenever I want. I recommend the product (sneakemail), I've been using it more than a decade and it helps you figure out who is selling your email address or got hacked. It let me know when Equifax was hacked long before it became public knowledge.

They use an email address I ONLY gave to Seplos. I did not contact them through Alibaba, I sent them an email, perhaps that is the difference. If Alibaba is intelligent, they will allow vendors to send you emails without revealing your email address. Be careful who you share your Alibaba contact card with unless you want every single spammer in China to add you.

Yes, until I turned it off, I received at least one email every single day for two weeks.
 
I made a purchase from seplos using email, and I have received exactly one marketing message over several months.

Hi RikH,

i orderd to Germany and have the same problem. My contact is Jerry and we write via WhatsApp. he responds quite fast.
Problem seams to be the company handling the customs part.
He told me, that I could get a refund or they would send a second battery/package.

I chose the second delivery and hope for the best now.

If you wish, I can PM you the mobile number for contacting him directly?

Best regards and hpoing for the best too,
Nerchi

PS: Does sombody know where the original thread with the 1000$ offer went? It seams to be deleted.:unsure:

Hi Nerchi,

The same happened to me in the mean time. I managed to get into contact with Adam again via email but mostly whatsapp. I got the choice as well and decided to give it another try. They have given me another t&t number from UPS this time but that gives me only "label created", nothing has been send so far.

Did you get also a UPS code?

Thanks for your reply, our cases are very similar

Hi Rik,

"nice" to hear that I am not alone with my troubles.

I got an UPS code, too. It is only for the shippment part in Europe.

But I then asked for the Ship Tracking Number and he gave me the same Number with a different website (http://yc.itdida.com/query.xhtml). There I can track the shippment up to arrival at the UPS station.
Mine is on the ship right now and schedueld to arrive at the port in the mid of May.

You could try the website too or ask your contact for the ship tracking.

That was a very helpfull suggestion. This site says: "Has sailed, estimated 30-32 days sailing time". Ship departed on the 4th of April so arrival will can expected in the beginning of May. Thanks @Nerchimond
 
Update:

On 26 April site stated:
Delay is expected to arrive in Hong Kong on 5.19
HongKong??

On 16th of May:
Arrived at port, waiting for unloading to arrange container clearance
From "Hamburger"??

On 19th of May:
The cabinet has been picked up, and customs clearance is expected to start on 5.20/23
From Greece??

How can one keep track of things with this type of info???

Anyway, I can only wait and see.

Hey,
I get the same info. I think we are on the same boat ?.
I put the Chinese text into deepl.com and got better translations.
The delay was translated with Hamburg instead of Hongkong. Don't know why ?

Hope that the last entry means customs in Hamburg.

Yes let's hope so. If there is any news I'll post it here.

My packages are now transferred to UPS and the tracking from UPS says delivery this Wednesday. The Chinese tracking says delivered.

Tomorrow I hopefully can confirm my delivery :)

Haha you're ahead of me in checking. Just did check and the same here. Chinese say delivered to warehouse (now suddenly Poland) and departure scan. That must be when UPS picked it up. Ups says delivery tomorrow between 11.15 - 14.15! Yesss!

Still nothing on my order. When did you order? (Too lazy to read through thread?)

My order was sent September last year but got lost. They sent again in March this year and now it seems it will be ok.

Ok cool. My 2nd order was in April, so I probably have another month to wait.
 
Today I've started testing the cells. 16 out of 32 will be tested and if they test all good there I will not test the other 16 because it's time consuming. If they are only a little doubtfully I will test all of them. It should be 135 Ah cells but no other specs can be found on the cells or in the packages but let's assume these are them. My tester goes up to 40 A so the 50 as in the description cannot be done. 40 Amps is something like .3 C so should be fine. I will post the first result here.

Maybe it is nice to start a topic about the build of these DIY boxes.

I tested only one random cell of the 64 135ah cells I have, and it came out to exactly 135ah. That surprised me a bit, as I was hoping for a 10% cushion. I used a ZKEtech tester. I am interested in your results. I dont seem to have the patience, as my life is too damn hectic lately.

Hi @Nerchimond did you get yours as well?

I received my package too.

Assembled the battery last weekend and it runs with a Victron Multiplus II 3000 since then quiet fine. BMS and communication with the Victron via CAN is not working flawless, yet.
Talked with seplos and got a firmware upgrade I shall try. Going to on Sunday. Will report if communication then works.

Build quality was very good, no problem or missing parts/screws. Cells were perfectly balanced too.

I am quiete happy right now.
 
Ok @Nerchimond that is nice to hear. I have assembled one of the 2 as well and it looks very good. Quality is fine. Now I am installing some Victron equipment as well. I bought a Multiplus II and a Cerbo GX. Didn't have time to install it all yet.

Some questions;
Do you have a GX device as well?
What cable are you using, type A or B? I bought a type A just because I saw it hanging in the shop. Hope it is the right one.
Is the battery talking Pylontech protocol?

I have made a home battery with 206 Ah cells. 5p16s so 1030 Ah and appr. 50 kWh. That one has a 500A Daly bms. I hope I can let that one talk to the Cerbo as well.

We'll see, progression goes slow because I have so many things to do besides my normal work.
