Another change being done that is going to all Luyuan's cases, is a more "universal" mounting panel to accommodate assorted BMS mounting points. That is an issue that was a PITA.
Sure is nice to see the packs being put together and so nice & tidy to boot.
Mine are similar... The Batt Terminals are M8 Singles, Face cut for JK 4.3" screen, flexible busbars for all...
Just finished another extended chat with Amy so she can finally goto bed... The worst part... been waiting over 6 weeks now (my pause request) and everything get's loaded next week and another 6? weeks to get here... Oi.... Patience Testing !!!
That which is worthwhile, is worth waiting for.

I didn't want a case 2 or 3 years ago when I started buying everything to make batteries. I wanted to see everything and I wanted easy access to everything. But now, I am trying to free up space in my shed. And I want my wife and others to be more comfortable. My batteries will be safer.
I don't need to see everything any more. If I do have a problem the BMS will tell me and I will have to pull out the battery.
This is just another step in the never ending process of setting up my solar system.
I expect to buy more batteries. There is a very good chance I will buy them from Amy.
Here is what I plan to use to stack unstack my batteries.

Amazing deals on this 500Lb Hydraulic Table Cart at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.www.harborfreight.com
Ohh dude... good luck with that thing mine had a nasty leak the o-ring was undersized I replaced twice and it would just leak the hydraulic ram is not wide enough or the o-ring is undersized ?
and finally said screw it. I have Xilin coming in now.

TBH though, for the small amount extra (£264 per box Incl' BMS etc), just having the metal boxes really helps make everything tidy, and hopefully a little safer too. I have loads of birch ply and a workshop, but for the hassle of wooden boxes vs purpose built steel boxes, it just seemed to make more sense buying them.

Sure gets a lot of good reviews. I can return it if I don't like it.Ohh dude... good luck with that thing mine had a nasty leak the o-ring was undersized I replaced twice and it would just leak the hydraulic ram is not wide enough or the o-ring is undersized ?
That Xilin looks cool. Thanks for the idea. I see them used on Ebay for $275

I have a long wait for my cases and cells. But other than that, Luyuan's prices seem pretty good to me. Especially since Steve helped Amy streamline the process of ordering good cells, BMSs and now cases and prebuilt batteries. I feel that any extra cost comes with extra value. I probably won't have any problems. If I do have problems, they will be dealt with as promptly as can be expected.
What comes with these cases? Was pinging with Amy Wan and looks like the 100ah case is $100 without BMS. Have l two packs already running with JBD, soon to be JK BMS I want to put into cases. For this price does it come with master switch, front connectors for battery, etc? I’ll pick up the thread with her next week but this seems like a hell of a deal.

This is what Luyuan Includes with all their steel cases....
Of course below is for 48V/16S box but 24V/8S is the same but with less bits obviously.
You can also choose to have a BMS added in and they will customize the front for the display if you want one. The displays vary between companies.

Will pick up conversation with her tonight or tomorrow evening. If this price holds without BMS, this is incredible.

It is awesome that you can customize these things.
The wait is a little tough but it's not the first time I had to wait a couple months for the boat.

I’ve had two ‘naked’ 48v packs sitting on a cart for two years, lol. I can wait.

I am fairly sure the prices have come down lately. Especially the complete batteries.

Luyuan does offer Completely Assembled 48V Battery packs. They are HEAVY because they do 240AH and up, so depending on where you are, the freight charges can be nuts. Something in the order of 85Kg/187Lbs per unit...
I simply need the cases. Get cells from 18650batterystore.

Got my cell details and pictures from Amy -
The boxes are supposed to ship next week

The battery report and shipment photos are one of the excellent customer service things Amy does for the customer. She remains available to answer any questions you may have both during and after the purchase.
Active chargers and balancers are nice and have the ability to "correct" imbalances to a point.
However I have been impressed in the positive differences I have seen when batteries are "batched and balanced". The cells really do work better in unison. Amy provides those cells.

JK is what I use.
Is that correct that even the 16s version of that battery box is $100? Was referring to this link which makes it look like it doesn't matter that size of the box. But then I see another listing has the 16S 280Ah box for $225.
