EEL Experience

[houseofancients]

Looks like the newer cases all have rounded corners.
My existing 2 cases are the v2 variant. My brain is wanting my cases to match so? Does anyone have 2 of the older EEL cases with seplos BMS that they’d like to part with for 280/304ah cells?

No idea, but you could order the masons

I started looking a bit. Not a bad idea

Why didn't i find this forum before i placed an order from Howard @ EEL.
I was soooo close to buy the apexium box and batteries from Jenny Wu, but i liked the EEL box better.
I just hope i get decent batteries and not some junk.

This order is an evaluationorder, if it is good, we (my company) will buy alot more boxes, i guess you need to start some where.
If we are not happy, I'll go with Apexium and Jenny instead.

I'll try and remember to keep you posted, as i noticed there are others that are nervous about their EEL order.

Any update on this? Will you do it again?

I did do it again. However, i only purchased the boxes from EEL the second time, there's some missing parts (Active balancers) but they shipped them in the end. But it's not hassle free ordering from EEL.
I purchased my cells from Jenny Wu the second time around, and what a difference, zero bloating, good packaging, 308-312Ah was the cells.
I can highly recommend purchasing cells from Jenny.

You think I should cancel my preassembled order from them? They promised EVE 280K Grade A with cell test reports.

Would you mind sharing Jenny Wu's link?

How long did the delivery from EEL take? I have an order in progress.

Took 10 days for me to get a BMS + balancer shipped from China to Finland.

That's for you to decide. I built my own battery with Cells, case and BMS. But i'm fairly comfident that the cells you will recieve are not grade A.
Here's Jennys email: jennywu896@gmail.com

Without digging through mails for exact dates i believe it took like 1,5-2 months for my first order (China to Sweden DDP).

I would say that EEL is definatly not scamming customers, i do believe they try to do a good job. But i don't think that they are well organised.
My understanding is that poor packaging, missing parts, not brand new cells is a continuing problem with there orders, but i have never heard or experienced that they wont replace missing parts when you point it out.

I would definatly buy more cases from them, but not cells.

Here is my experience with EEL https://diysolarforum.com/threads/catl-lfp-cell-model-code-31.38138/post-1052181

"Not good"

I still see them on Amazon, took them awhile to get here. Over one year later, all is fine, couldn’t be happier.

I'd ordered 8x304Ah Eve cells from EEL. They were shipped (not air) which was fine and no duty when they came into Australia. They all tested 310-313Ah. However when assembling the battery I found one of the terminals (the double bolt type) had a broken weld. The whole terminal was loose. It was a hell of a job to get them to airmail a replacement involving a chargeback via my credit card.

Now I've been able to test the replacement cell I find it's 294Ah. Will that drag all the other cells down to its level? I'm doing a 4S2P setup, so pairs of cells acting as a single cell, then the 4 pairs hooked up like a standard 4 cell 12 volt battery.
