Xuba Pre-built 200AH LIFEPO4 Battery??

Anxiously awaiting your experience. I want to start ordering for a system after the beginning of the year.
 
Shipping took a long time! My order finally cleared the port. Now with UPS to be delivered next Wednesday

Keep up posted.

@Will Prowse Have you tough about checking this ones?, after your Big Battery & SOC comparison this could be another decent option.
 
Keep up posted.
They finally arrived Feb 3! 10 weeks after order... Xuba built and transferred to logistics company in 15 days. And then 2 more months in transit. Xuba was responsive and able to inquire with logistics company, so I got periodic updates when it was stuck in the port for several weeks.
 
Mine arrived today, I have not tested anything and are properly not going to do a capacity test, but just start to use it. Here are some pictures

Both the coulomb counter and the volt meter XUBA are using are for sale on Aliexpress. Link to the coulomb counter follows.

It’s just a simple voltmeter that estimates capacity by voltage.
I've opened mine up and dug around inside. I found a few sketchy things I would prefer to have been done differently... couple botched fittings. But capacity seems to as advertised for the cells (appear to be ETC).
Balancing the cells was a pain, but first discharge I got 277 AH before the cells hit 2.75v.

The meter I linked to comes with a shunt and should be doing more than you describe as it is a coulomb meter. I think the voltmeter you are describing is this one.


Both meters I linked to are shown on the first page of this thread. What was the advertised capacity of your battery?

EDIT: Never mind...I see you posted on the first page you ordered custom 272ah batteries. :)

Wow ! kprimdal

I don't know, but the inside of that battery looks like a hot mess. Maybe it was cheap but that build looks like crap​
