Yep...I sure will let the group know. I am very curious myself. Check again...US is there. Here is a screen shot. BTW...this order, post #4, is from a different source than my post #1, of this thread. But the panels sure look identical. This source was slightly less price and a little...

I ordered three of these today...$79/100w panel with shipping. Shipped from USA. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000004259531.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6f6f4c4dtmwPpl

Anyone have any experience with these panels? If favorable, I plan to put three of these on the top of my pickup bed cap with suction cups to use with my Xuba 280AH LFP system. Price seems reasonable and shipping time is not stupid long. Of course this will be a portable system attached to...

Yes...agree. The four panels are relatively very heavy. And the four panels together are considerably bigger than a single 100 watt panel. I have the kit now and am upgrading currently.

Pleasure doing business with Craigmck. Very nice guy, excellent communications, and quick shipping! Thanks Craig.

Hi Craig. I as well am having issues with PM. I will take both and delay board. Is $10 for shipping about right? I will send via PayPal. Let me know how much is shipping, and where to send. Thanks!

Deal...PM being sent. Thanks

I will still take them if the price is right. W How much do you want for both?

PM sent!!!

Once Again...Hats off to Xuba and Amy!!! I have been having an issue with one of the four 280AH LFP cells from my recent order I placed 19 March with Xuba. At the low end of the power band, below ~3.2V one of the four cells would discharge MUCH faster than the other three cells. Conversely...

I used the default shipping...whatever that was. I didn't specify shipping method when placing order. The shipping amount was $253 to northeast Pennsylvania. Good luck with your order.

I was hoping to report that I scored a good value on a Suredom 2000w/4000w Pure Sine Wave Inverter at $159. NOPE!!! I should have know better with a High Temp Shut Off Spec of 75C...that's HOT!!! But I simply didn't know better being a noobie. So after testing at 1700 watts constant load...

Could you please an post an ebay/amazon link for the resistor you are referring.

So all indication now point toward lowering prices...a good thing for folks on this forum!!!

From what I can see, it looks like top piece snap directly over the cell terminals which in turn snaps over half of one section and half of neighboring section. Regardless, still doesn't look secure enough to hold sections together when lifting cell pack.

Note the top terminal covers 'snap' on with important function of protecting terminals, and perform a secondary function of securing top of individual pieces, though not very secure. Looks like bottom strapping of some sort may still be needed, and still possible top strapping.

I sent this video to my son that is quite good with 3-D printing, has two printers. I also sent him the spec sheet with the dimensions of the 280Ah cells from Xuba. I asked if he could work up a prototype. Let's see if he has the time (he is quite a busy guy) to design/write the code and...

The charger is on demand...no on/off switch. So, if no amp demand, no feed from charger. And the fan is demand triggered as well.

Their tech support is very good. I talked to them a few times. I wouldn't be surprised if by request they would put in a wireless key fob remote or something similar.

The link is a mere 12" wire with RJ-11 (telephone) terminals.

Yes...I have been using the IOTA DLS-55 with the IQ4 module as a power supply in my Ham Shack for all my radio gear for 15 years. Not a lick of problems, and not a lick of "hash" (noise) on the radio bands. I also have been using it with the IQ4 module to charge/top off my Sealed Lead Acid...

Suggest checking out the IOTA DLS-45 Converter/Charger with it's IQ-LiFePO Charging module. Both total about $250 on Ebay. Links to DLS-45 and IQ-LiFePO module below. Also I attached spec sheet for the IQ-LIFEPO module below as well. https://www.iotaengineering.com/pplib/spec2.pdf...

If it is a Kenwood TS-830S "Gold Label", it comes factory equipped packed with all filters. I am fortunate enough to have Gold Label in the shack, and will be in my will...? 73 de Mike.

If I'm not mistaking, we are within your budget now. I bought four of these 280AH cell for $583 delivered to door. 280Ahx13.2V=3696Wh. If calculating usable power @80%, then usable power is 2957Wh. I do agree with you, although no one has a crystal ball, more factors lead to prices dropping...

Thank you Sir. Appreciate your insight (y)

Good morning folks. Let's hope all are continuing to be COVID-19 responsible. I just got an unsolicited quote for Lead Crystal Battery. I am new to this and am looking for feedback. Quickly googling and watching a couple youtube vids, I see the technology has been around since WWII, but...

My research is telling me that freight increased $1.43/kg from China to states. This is driven mainly by number of flights being significantly reduced. Freight is sitting on docks waiting for planes/transport. The other factor that should be driving shipping down is oil is at lows from...

They're here!!!! Fifteen days from date of order from Xuba to northeast PA. Quite happy about that, especially in this world's crazy state. Did a quick voltage check, and only 3 millivolts delta between four cells...3.323, 3.325, 3.325, 3.326. One very small nick on wrapper of one cell on...

Hello folks. I attached the spec sheet for the subject 280Ah 3.2V cells. I haven't gone thru 21 pages of this thread, so forgive me if this has already been posted. Lots of excellent info on these cells in this spec sheet!

How would you tension the straps?

Yep...a KISS solution. And that is always good! Thanks.

Yes...I believe he used the VHB tape in the video and is where I got the idea. I think VHB stands for 'very high bond'. Below is right off 3M's site: With 3M™ VHB™ Tapes, you can maintain consistency from sketch to construction, eliminating distracting, visible fasteners, like screws and...

More excellent input...thank you FilterGuy! I was thinking I could kill two birds with one stone. I have 1/2" VHB tape. I am thinking of using a small 1" long piece of VHB tape on the four corners between each cell. This would provide an every so slight space for airflow/bulge, but also keep...

HAHA...APEX! I thought of this after I hit the post reply last message. The 'undertape' can simply be the first layer of Gorilla tape with adhesive side up and non-adhesive side toward battery. Then wrap another couple layers on top of the undertape conventionally. Put strapping right at top...

Excellent input Steve. Roger on NO upsidedown...didn't intend that. I just have no means of tensioning polyester strapping...and not going to buy tool for a one or two time use. I was thinking wrap cell pack first in some type of non-adhesive "undertape", then two or three wraps of Gorilla...
