Request for recommodations: 48V rack mount batteries shipped to europe (Oct 2022)

[nric]

Hi all,

I'm new here, so forgive me if I missed something but I couldn't find a thread about vendors from Alibaba (or any other site) who sell rackmount 48V batteries to europe.

In short, I'm building a 20kW system on an old house on the canary islands.

I want around 60kWh of energy buffer and decided to go for a 48V rack mount system to make the project a little less time consuming than building the battery from scratch. Either 6x200Ah or 12x100Ah.

I send a request for quote to Alibaba and got several offers back. See below.

My problem: They all seem suitable, claim to have all the certifications I need here but I can't find any experience reports on any of them.

My questions: Can any one comment to any of therse or recommend another system? The usual suspects and vendors from the USA don't help me, they all seem either out of stock and most don't ship to europe or the canary islands while the Alibaba works fine (at least this is my experience here so far).

Hi Enric, I am also looking for a 30 to 40KW rack battery solution for my house on the island of Curacao. I just found this on AliExpress and just made a thread about it. Its hard to believe this price, thats why I was asking if someone knows this store and can tell me if its trustworthy or not. Here is the screenshot. They seem to deliver everywhere. Oh, and the price is only valid until 11th November. I mean $660 for a 48V/200Ah is just a crazy price. Tell me what you think.

Here is the link:

Hi Schamp,

ha, good to hear there are other Islanders here. Curacao looks loveley.

I wish I could tell you something about these modules or the shop. The price looks borderline belivable for a sales offer (I have seen this price in the past once or twice on Alibaba for larger quantities). But the shop is only 1 year old and has a really strange "name".

In case you decide to order there, let us know how it went.

I'm leaning towards ordering from Cool-li s or this module that was reviewed here: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/review-of-cerrnss-lifepo4-48v100ah-battery-modules.44668/

I'll keep you updated how it goes.
Best regards

This is from the official CERRNSS Store on AliExpress. Quite a different price!!

 

[nric]

Hey Schamp,

did you decide to order from the shop you found?

Hey Schamp,

did you decide to order from the shop you found?

No, I didn't order so far. I have 8 12V/300Ah joined together 4s2p to 48V/600Ah Enjoybot Batteries there now, but will want to expand the system in the near future. The former owner bought those batteries ($1000 each) and they are only 1 year old now, so they should do for now, but would be nicer to have a rack system.

Hey Enric, another fellow islander here (I'm from Tenerife). That's going to be quite the battery...

There's a spanish DIY Lifepo4 Telegram group and they have an ongoing deal with Shenzen Basen in Alibaba and the feedback in the group has been good so far. They update the offered prices frequently on this website:

I mean $660 for a 48V/200Ah is just a crazy price. Tell me what you think.

SCAM for sure.

Hi Enric,
Did you successfully order any batteries to Canary Islands from China?
I am having a lot of problems trying to ship here...
