looks good siting on top of all those battery testers
Too good a deal?

I've had mine for a few days. Looks pretty good. Came with M8 bolts and lock washers. Ran it to dead through my Victron Phoenix 500. It ran my 500W food dehydrator for about 40minutes until the voltage got down to about 9.7V and the low voltage cutoff worked. It's charging up now. The heater element in the dehydrator cycles on and off about every 15s. As the voltage was getting in the 10-11V range, it had no problem pushing 67A (it's a 50A BMS). Seems solid so far. I think I'll do a capacity test next. Oh and the short circuit protection works hahaha.

Sorry guys, i've been too busy to do much of anything with it. The only thing I've done so far was slowly charge it to full, and put a car battery 100A load tester on it to see what would happen. It did over 100a for several seconds before i said "cool, it's not broke" and had to walk away from it again.
It was an $80 coupon on Amazon when I bought mine ($219). Gave it some non scientific tests for capacity and was pleased to get 100Ah out of it for a couple of cycles. Charged to full at 25A with my AIMS and discharged with a 200W heater on my 600W Samlex inverter (about 18A DC).
Does it have short circuit protection?
Edit: missed the last part of the last post about it having short circuit protection.

Yes I tested that on accident with the metal bottom of my victron phoenix 500. Made a spark but then went back to normal. I'm real thankful these have short circuit protection.

Someone didn't read the rules before posting.
Sorry, can you point me to which rule?

Update: Corporate Corner/Group Buy Section is Now Removed. And New Rules for Vendors.
Hello everyone! I have removed the "Corporate Corner" and "Group Buy" sections. I created these groups to allow businesses to post as they wish, for self-promotion or otherwise. I thought it was a good idea at first, but it has created a few problems: Problem #1: Vendors use this website to...

The post had already been removed.
Not the person who asked for the rule.
Thanks. I was unsure if I had broken a rule, was just looking for clarification. Appreciate the help!
If this battery BMS will do series, I might have to consider buying a couple.
