Hello folks,
I recently received 48 brand new grade A 280Ah LiFePO4 cells from Dongguan Billion Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. via Alibaba.
The person I communicated with was Yau Tim.
Everything arrived very well packaged. Some outer boxes were slightly scrunched from shipping, but the inner boxes and foam padding seemed in perfect shape. The batteries looked perfectly brand new and are not damaged (I wouldn't expect them to be given how well they were packed).
The batteries arrived on schedule and I tested the voltages today (July 13, 2020) to be 3.296V - 3.298V.
I received a video showing the pre-shipping voltage of the batteries were 03.28V - suggesting they should have used the next notch over on their multi-meter, but I'm not concerned.
Tim included a free bag of _copper_ screws! I didn't ask for them, and I thought it was a nice touch. No galvanic corrosion between my copper screws and copper bus bars. It also looks nice and saves me from making a mess with NOALOX - at least for that connection.
Total cost was USD $4,635.89 DDP (by sea). FedEx dropped the batteries off at my front door.
I'm meeting with my electrician tomorrow to make a plan, so I probably won't have them powering my house for a couple of months (permits, national grid, etc.).
I'll try to answer any questions - just keep in mind that I have trouble finding the time to visit this site every day.
I didn't include a pic because they are standard EVE batteries (M6 screw). They seem to look identical to the other 280Ah batteries posted to this forum.
