  • Post in thread: Need feedback on GSL lithium batteries

    I think the company is GSL direct from china. They have lots of different batteries and is hard to get a straight answer and price and they annot provide doumentation that they work in losed loop with SMA 60/48, only a picture with it connected to the Battery.
