    BATTERY SELLERS - THE GOOD, BAD, UGLY -- or Jenny (DOCAN) so far so good ...

    the scanner app does work - thats what i used - you have to add the bottom line first - which are all the same - the top row are different - try it again - the only thing is my cells were all produced about a year ago - other than that - they are excellent - who knows if they sat at CALB...

    yes bottom line first - its the same on all cells - the top line is the difference - i checked them all - they all show as a valid code - all show its CALB LF230 - i feel totally fine with them - no reason to think otherwise - i would get CALB again if or when i need more cells - but i think...

    Ok we figured it out - forget those apps on the cell phone - they are not always accurate as in my case it was way off and wrong - global power has a code checker - but it didnt work for me - so i got concerned - well it turns out - it was the browser Firefox - not alot of sites work...

    Docan 230ah, new welded stud design?

    Has anyone has issues with the round welded studs because of the smaller contact area ? the larger studs wider area are because of the Cells - EVE have square others are round to start with - so they add the round stud welded instead -

    CATL LF280 280Ah from DOCAN

    what is the difference between CATL CALB and EVE ? i am looking at 230ah models - but concerned a bit - some had great units from them and some had bad - its a gamble - but the real issue is - after sale - so if someone says one thing then its another or under Cap. or what ever is wrong -...

    Docan 230ah, new welded stud design?

    if they do the welding good - all 4 sides would be nice - i did have one cell that it broke off when i was tightening the screw down - it was replaced free of charge but didnt have a good feeling after that- i still rather have the lazer welding done - screw in come loose - and once...

    Poor Docan Experience (Resolved)

    yes i agree - if they are not what they are stated to be - then it should be known - if its Grade B - then say it and charge less thats all - if it says GRADE A + what ever that means - it should not be bloated - and should give the full Cap. - i am looking around for cells also at the...

    Which are Better and Why ?

    yes thats a big deal - is the size - 230ah cells are the max that can fit and those are what i am shooting for - 8S 24V

    Which are Better and Why ?

    i never had an issue so far - i dont use buss bars - i do use cables instead - and use a sheet of silicone in between each cell - and do use nylocks for the screws - i learned as i went along - making mistakes of course and redoing better each time - buss bars would make it easier to make...

    Which are Better and Why ?

    i though everyone on here was more or less using Docan Power as there main source for quality cells - reason i came here to find out more since you guys here seem to use alot of cells -

    Which are Better and Why ?

    someone else should just copy the PL 8 and make a new charger - that would be great - all i know is using one does an excellent job - fast simple and perfect balance - the first step is getting matched cells which is harder to find than you would think - i am considering docan power for...
  32. H

    Which are Better and Why ?

    they no longer make the PL 8 which sucks - nothing else out there as good - next best would have to be the Icharger - not as good i believe but not many other options - you need a decent PSU for it -

    Which are Better and Why ?

    Its too bad no BMS can do as good a job - i wonder why cant they make a BMS better - they are very slow and lacking - but then i dont know for solar stuff -

    Which are Better and Why ?

    thank you - its a great charger fast simple balances on the nose - never over charges - what does LFP stand for ?
