Still no update on shipping at my end. FedEx still showing same as I posted earlier. Has anyone else that also ordered these have any later updates or received their cells???

Placed my order Jan 15. Not yet received. Per vendor, shipped Jan 20. I asked vendor the status of shipping, response was takes 35-45 days by sea to US port. I did receive FedEx tracking number some time ago...it show "estimate shipping date...pending". Expected to be received via sea in...

Hello folks...first a little background. I was using the Chargery 8T BMS on a 4S EVE 280 AH LFP pack. I ran into one issue after another, until finally it just simply wouldn't turn on. BUT please I don't want this thread to be a about who has had success or issues with the Chargery. I am...

I'm guessing you mistakenly looked at the price for 2 cells...which is $160

I just placed my order $159 plus $10 tax. Paid by opening a PayPal credit card and got $20 back!!!! So net for these four cells $149...not bad at all (y)?. That is less money than the AGM battery I just bought for my Jeep! Will see how long for delivery to Pennsylvania.

In reading the reviews on the cells from the link I posted, there is nothing that indicates any type of degraded or blemished cells. Nearly all are 5 star reviews. 39 of 43 are 5-stars, 3 are 4-stars, and only one negative 1-star review and had to do with "worst service"/no quality issue...

I am seeing these 100AH LFP prismatic cells on AliExpress at $160...shipped to USA. This seems to be the lowest price I found. Has anyone found a lower price? Does anyone have any experience with these cells? Grade A or B??? Thanks for any feedback, Mike 4pcs 3.2V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery...

Folks, I need some help understanding "maximum series fuse rating", and how this rating applies to my solar setup. I attached an excerpt from the spec sheet for my panels below. I will be putting three of these panels in series 3S1P (for now...may expand to 3S2P) going into an EPever Tracer...

EPever 30amp/100v MPPT

One of my favorite movies!!!!

Several asking on vendor info. Here is info on vendor and my order if you are interested. JUST BE AWARE...they were shipped EXW, which means you are responsible for all duty/tariff costs and shipping issues. IMPORTANT...I kept my order UNDER $200 which is what I was told was the threshold for...

Second time is a charm. After the horror story of being defrauded out of $253 last order (finally getting all of it back after 2 months of fighting with first vendor AliExpress is getting money back to me), this vendor delivered in spades. Three 100 watt semi-flexible panels were delivered...

Exceptional effort and information! Thanks for taking the time to compile and share!

I just purchased three solar panel "EXW". Total price before shipping is $150...plus $55 shipping. My understanding is the threshold for duty is $200 NOT including shipping. Sooo....I think I'm good and won't be paying duty. Anyone with knowledge on EXW terms???

Thanks all...some excellent feedback!!! Look forward to anyone else tossing out their thoughts and experiences in this line of thoughts!!!

Hello all, 50% State-of-Charge is the recommendation for storing LFP cells from all I've read. I have a few questions to help me understand that recommendation better: 1. In looking at the charge profile on the spec sheet, it appears the 50% SOC mark is about 3.28V per cell, or 13.12V for...

Agree on MC4s, and already using the Anderson Powerpoles. I am a ham operator and stock those puppies...very popular in amateur radio.

Thank you very much for all the suggestions. Your pic is very helpful...I can learn a lot about art work too :) Busbars were not used because of packages constraints/portability. Master fuse is in the system between the positive battery terminal and master switch...I just forgot to draw it in...

I am very happy you didn't have similar problems!!! I got excuses of out of stock in USA warehouse...twice. Invalid tracking number just to attempt to show they were shipped after 9th day of order after I questioned ordering...suppose to ship NLT 7 days, held up in customs twice, we are a...

I cut a 1/2" piece of plywood roughly 1.5"x5". Then drilled four 3/16" holes in appropriate spots to use zip ties (pulled tight) to hold the shunt to the ply. Need to carve a small channel on back of ply so zip tie would be flush with ply. Then drilled two holes at each end for screws to...

EXACTLY! My biggest lesson learned from my horror story is exactly as you stated. Another lesson learned is that the AE vendors know 'how to work the system'. In other words, vendor fully accepted my dispute knowing my $100 would be refunded from AE, but then there was no way for me to force...

Congrats! Let us know how you like them please. These are different than the ones I got defrauded on. What vendor did you use?

Well the AliExpress vendor I ordered my three panels from, JY SOLAR PANEL CO has now officially defrauded me out of $152.81 out of $252.81. They never shipped in 7 days as advertised giving excuse after excuse. They still didn't ship after 3 weeks. They even provided false tracking numbers...

Xuba on Alibaba...four 3.2v/280ah LiFePO4 cells $583 delivered to Pennsylvania. Arrived in about 4 weeks.

Hmmm...hence the reason I am running this past the braintrust. Thanks for input. It's back to the drawing board.

Excellent pickup! Actually I noticed I have both sides of the PV on same charge relay lug as well which would do nothing to disconnect PV from SCC. So any fix???

I have a factory bulkhead for solar hookup if that is what you are referring to. Note though its only rated for 10amp. I wired up a "pigtail" to plug into that bulkhead and Anderson Powerpole on other end. I'm thinking you can get stockier bulkhead for 20 or 30 amps. See pictures.

Please refer to this latest attachment and disregard original attachment. I added a Master Switch off the battery pack positive to the drawing. Thanks and still looking for input on sanity on what I have laid out.

Okay folks. I am putting all the pieces together finally. Been taking baby steps as I am a novice at best, and learning tons with each step and the continued help here of the forum members. So it's time to toss my drawing out here for review, and a sanity check. But first here are a few...

deleted...OBE bases on previous posts.

LOLOL...thanks! Any way of confirming if the EPever Tracer 30amp SCC is one of the "many...most"? And is there anything else besides the post initial install mismatch that is problematic?

So if I understand you correctly, you are stating to set the high voltage disconnect of the SCC in my case at the high end of my LFP pack...say somewhere north of 14V (which I certainly agree). What happens then if the BMS shuts of the charging when ONE CELL hits the high voltage disconnect...

Hello folks, In reading all the documentation on the various SCCs, the documentation is consistently saying to have battery connected to SCC before attaching solar panel(s). However if my memory serves me correctly, I have seen videos and posts that conflicts with that documentation...

Excellent video. Thank you to Will and thank you for sharing.

Hi Folks, My "portable" Solar system is in final assembly. Just need one more very critical component...the Solar Charge Controller. The options are many, and my experience is very limited. So, I am asking for recommendations. A few details first. The battery pack is the Xuba 280 12V LFP...
