    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    The cells were first charged in parallel, then assembled in 2p4s and charged with an Overkill BMS. Voltages and current were as in my previous post. Total capacity achieved Was 536Ah. Better than a kick where the sun doesn't shine but the question is, where are my 84 amps?

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Update from the lab: "Report on your 8 cells: After charging all 8 cells in parallel configuration for about 30 hours with initially a 50 amp then 10 amp charge they reached 3.5 V. I could not achieve the 3.65v that they should go to. Last night I made a battery in a 2P4S configuration and...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Update: I handed the cells to a local firm who specialise in lithium installs. They're getting top balanced as I type this and capacity tested tomorrow, then I'll know more. Re: the trustworthiness of Deligreen: they expressly advertise the cells as having an intact barcode but send out ones...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Thanks. I've never made a claim in 25 years. I'm not binning them until there's been an outcome. It could be that they relent and accept a return (unlikely) offer me a partial refund to keep them (not interested) or my bank/Alixxx just refund me without the need to ship them back, in which case...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    In other news, here's the latest from Deligreen. They are flat out refusing a return and unsurprisingly done the pleading/angry cycle I had described in my earlier post. In the meantime I have filed a section 75 claim with my bank. Let's see what happens.

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Thanks for the explanation. Agree it *could* be something minor, but there are too many unknowns and at this stage the seller raised so many red flags and made me realise it will only be a massive pain if I have to make any warranty claims that I just want to sever it and move on to buy pricier...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    It's easier to learn to shave on someone else's face. I wonder how many of those who suggested I keep them would chance it with their home or their boat. I bought new balanced and matched cells and I received factory reject, puffy mismatched cells with defaced barcode. The seller is refusing to...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    I am in Thailand, leaving to Indonesia in 2 weeks so not much chance for to return and swap even if they had genuine new cells with barcodes.

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    I apologise if my comments sounded gratuitously racist. I do not have a problem with the Chinese on a personal level but I do stand behind my statement that business-wise they are largely dishonest or have very poor to non-existing customer service and QC at best. I live and do business in Asia...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    You would think they care. Thing is the Chinese are so stubbornly callous, they'll sacrifice their entire company reputation to save coughing up $200. I'll tell you what would happen if they became aware of this thread: first they'll get ANGRY - they like to scam but they don't deal well with...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Some people have no shame. They got caught red handed scamming and instead of apologising and refunding me they're asking me to pay $500 - not to keep them, to send them back! Lord have mercy ??‍♂️

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    I did. Would never buy from China without. Already filed a section 75 to get my money back

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Yes I could do some limited testing with non-professional equipment that's available to me but if they have the barcode scratched off they failed QC at the factory where they have much more advanced testing facilities. Maybe they'll be fine for years. Maybe next week my boat will catch fire. Who...

    RV Battery bank advise or opinions

    I'm the buddy who got the dodgy cells. They haven't done anything to make it right so I'm not affording them the benefit of the doubt. If anyone cares to know what it's like to deal with them when there is a problem, here's my experience with them...

    Deligreen 310Ah cells SCAM

    Warning: disgruntled customer who only registered on the Forum to warn others about supplier (and do a little bitching in the process). This is the outcome of my order from Deligreen (Changsha Deligreen Power Co on Alibaba): A couple of weeks ago I put in an order with Deligreen through...
