    Recommendations for 30-50AH batteries on Alibaba, etc..

    I had great success buying eve 280ah cells on alibaba. I'm now looking for finished batteries that are between 30AH - 50AH. Can anyone suggest a seller who has batteries in this size? I've seen lots of recommendations for batteries which are between 100AH-280AH but nothing for the smaller sizes.

    How can I fix/reset my Daly BMS soc ?

    The SOC being displayed for my 280AH battery never seems to be correct, especially at low voltage. Is these a way to reset the soc displayed on my Daly smart bms?

    Shenzhen Luyuan Technology Co., Ltd. Discussion Thread

    I'm using this battery in my small campervan. I don't need high draw (max 0.17C) so I just got a daly 80A smart bms. A bit finicky to initialise, but otherwise no issues after I changed the sleep settings of the bms. If I needed to worry about freezing temps, high current draw, etc.. I probably...

    It was $100USD to have 4 280AH cells shipped to Sydney. If you're considering buying from these people I certainly recommend them. I've had the cells for a few weeks now and they have been flawless. Since I started looking into these battery builds I've seen soo many people receive dodgy cells...

    Daly BMS question about use / setup (came with no instructions)

    I think I just have a faulty button. I unplugged the micro usb cable and ran a metal pick over the contacts on the micro usb cable which then activated the BMS. I've now set the sleep time so that the bluetooth is always on.

    Daly BMS question about use / setup (came with no instructions)

    Thanks. Yeah I'm having no luck. I've tried a short 1 sec press of that button, a long 30 sec press and everything in between. I've also tried shorting B- to P- Still can't get the Bluetooth to turn on. I have 14amps going into the battery through the charger and it's supposed to turn on when...

    I've made a 280AH 12v battery for my campervan. I have an electric mountain bike which uses a 500wh battery. However with the inefficiencies in the inverter and charger it actually takes around 746wh to charge (that's around 70A at 12v) When travelling and riding my bike often I like to get two...

    Physical layout of 4 280AH cells

    I did see that video and read the discussions here and here on the forum. I've also seen the update video on youtube and read the youtube comments. It seems that this leaking was due a manufacturing fault. The other suspected issues came from the case or the weight being transferred to the...

    Physical layout of 4 280AH cells

    Hi All, I have ordered 4 EVE cells to create a 280AH battery. I have a question about the layout of the cells. This is for a campervan and I would like to have the battery positioned under the seat if possible. A normal upright layout would not fit. As such I am considering arranging the cells...

    Undersized solar charge controller question

    Thanks everyone !! Sounds like it's not really worth upgrading the solar charge controller. I think I'll stick with my current MPPT and put any money towards a new lifepo4 battery ! Cheers.
