Under $400 for 5kWh. That's great. How much did you pay all included like shipping, customs etc?
I paid $1500 13 months ago for ONE 5kWh unit.

I'm just itching to know what's inside 
Will you have a shunt on the system so you can do a capacity test?

also found these german videos of the 200ah 12v
saw a comment on one video that I couldn't relocate that said one caught fire and burned out a basement.

Whatever you did, that's what you planned.
10kWh of LFP should tip the scales at ~185 lbs. To my eye that plywood should bowing in between the saw horses a bit more than it is.

It's not even plywood. It's 1/4" siding.
He probably has 2x4 or larger under it for support.
That said, the videos show it is one of those "if it's too good to be true" deals.
The German guy got his money back from the sales platform, not from the seller.

It's siding made out of plywood since we're trying to get technical.
Regardless of what it is my point was that if those batteries weigh much less than 90 lbs each there's not going to be 5 kWH in them.

Free shipping so It was about $740 for the two.

It's 5/8 T- 111 siding on 8 inch centers. The saw horse's are only about 40 max inches apart.

T -111 5/8" siding. They don't even make it in 1/4"
3/8 is as thin as it gets. 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 only.

It's only a buffer really. The system is used in daylight only and has 1,200 watts of panel for a 500 watt continuous load (LED lights) during the day and intermittent use of a 15 amp table saw. Capacity isn't an issue.I'm just itching to know what's inside
hope you don't use them inside, found that youtube comment:It's only a buffer really. The system is used in daylight only and has 1,200 watts of panel for a 500 watt continuous load (LED lights) during the day and intermittent use of a 15 amp table saw. Capacity isn't an issue.
"One of these OLPZ batteries (12v-200Ah) set my basement on fire. Several tens of thousands of euros in damage, huge effort with fire sanitizers, craftsmen's businesses and trouble with insurance companies just because you fell for this cheap junk. That won't happen to me again. Stay away from this fraudulent and life-threatening crap!"
Remember if they lied about whats inside they don't give a f@ck about safety. fake=dangerous

What does that have to with the weight? No one cares about the finer details of the plywood.

Because thicker holds more weight. That has lots to do with it. 5/8 would hold the weight just fine even if they were 86 pound each. Just pointing that out. So your comment that the would should be bowed isn't the case. You can't go by that. You my know solar but I know wood. Your method of sizing the batteries by that isn't accurate. Future reference for ya.

Yeah when I ordered them I was sceptical. Some people pay student loads back. I've always paid for my education here and there. Thanks for the heads up. I filed a dispute with the store through AliExpress so we will see how it goes and I already considered fire prior to ordering. I'm doing them in a mobile set up so at the most they will burn themselves up and a charge controller only. Might strap a fire extinguisher to the box lol
