  • Post in thread: Docan 280 EVE cells - 2023 Quality check (update: Bad experience - scam beware)

    I was going to order 4 280K from Docan this thread helped me realize what is going on and I ordered 4 280K from 18650batterystore. You are helping many people find out the truth.
  • Post in thread: LF280K EVE cells FAKE Grade A cells !

    God damn, you'd think the Chinese would just pay off Alkaline at this point just to keep him quite! ?
  • Post in thread: A ton of LiFePo⁴ cells

    Wow I just got my 48 cells from sunfun thinking I was all that and a bag of chips, but 160?? :oops: :oops: :oops: subbed to your thread curious to see how the basen green boxes will work.
  • Post in thread: New Docan 230Ah EVE Cells

    Interesting I have some grade A 230 cells from 18650batterystore I will take some pictures of the qr code and post here to see if I see any blurry portion in the middle.

    If they stop trump I would be voting for him for sure. But I think the swamp already have there candidate, Niki Haley.
  • Post in thread: 18650BatteryStore.com or Sunfunkits.com?

    Clearly you don't have either, there is plenty to not like with the dual pole cells: I asked this a few months ago and never got a striaght answer, it was regarding this video: So I kept searching and the know-it-all @Alkaline said I was nuts and to check Andy from offgrid garage, well lo...
  • Post in thread: Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    The price from US location means a good bit more money. I was basically in the same situation as you last month and ended up ordering from overseas, but with a US company and paid with a credit card. This way if anything goes wrong I can get my money back. 18650 would have been $789 more vs...

    Leave him alone and find another hobby....
  • Post in thread: My build thread with LF280K from 18650batterystore and Sun Fun Kits sfk v4 Heated Kit

    Ok I think I have everything set! I'm using this heater and a 1500 watt inverter along with the BMS capacity benchmark. Its running now. Overall the kit was easy to build I think anyone can do it, the only hard parts are the making the cables and crimps.
  • Post in thread: Enclosure for 24v DIY battery.

    Have you looked at this: https://www.sunfunkits.com/product/122/sfk-v4-24v-lf105-eve-cells-kit As you already are using a JK BMS it could be possibly transplanted into it. They have a heated jacket that may add in helping in the cold climates. I've been happy with my 12v kit, allowed me to...
  • Post in thread: 48 cell 304 pallet from Sun Fun Kits

    These are with there own battery terminal that has a stud in a aluminum base, looks very good and strong nice coverage area for the bus bars. Also they are striaght no bending. A LOT better than the dual pole I got from 18650 store. I have to say I really like what they are doing with the label...

    In case anyone is wondering the AH chat moved to this thread: https://diysolarforum.com/posts/950334/

    Are you affiliated with Docan?
  • Post in thread: SFK Sun Fun Kits 300ah Battery Review

    I just saw this and well this is ridiculous: 280AH cells that are putting out 298AH under a 80amp test: $950 battery with bluetooth and low temp... I'm actually now a bit depressed my LF280K grade A can't even hit 280AH. Something is wrong with the LF280K, this company EVE should issue a recall.
  • Post in thread: 18650 Battery Store

    I don't take advice form scam artists like ray that go around pitching docan and calling other companies scams mean while: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/docan-power-bad-experience-beware.61866/post-773779 and then makes videos saying a fake docan is selling counterfeit, swollen cells but...

    Thanks for rubbing it in!
  • Post in thread: Anyone bought Ganfeng 270Ah+ (GFB) Grade B Cells from 18650BatteryStore? Big mistake

    Tis a shame... I have had good luck with 18650 store, just ordered my second set of 280K from them. But seeing this makes me think I will probably avoid them. You should be given an entire 4 pcs set shipped to you at no charge. Those cells look like a health risk, I would not even attempt to...
  • Post in thread: My build thread with LF280K from 18650batterystore and Sun Fun Kits sfk v4 Heated Kit

    Hello, I would like to share with you my battery build, after seeing videos on Nate's DIY youtube I decided to do the same: I chose cells from 18650batterystore the LF280K grade A, and the standard heated kit V4 with heating. The total cost for cells was $644 delivered to Virginia and $373...
  • Post in thread: Wh and Ah and More

    I purchased there cells based on this video: The guy showed the AH and WH, also at the time they were the cheapest cells I could find with test reports. So they do show the WH/3.2 is the AH. If WH / 3.2 is a valid way to get AH then why is this a point of contention? Either its right or wrong.
  • Post in thread: Wh and Ah and More

    This is quite interesting, I think this should be moved to the main forums, I have always thought the way to go was AH as well! Chat GPT is insane you can write whole term papers with it, using it to check for battery questions is genius :cool:
  • Post in thread: Best Price on Grade A 304 Cells looking for about 32-48 or so cells

    WRONG! You gave me a heart attack for no reason? the 48 cells are 8 boxes of 6 cells each. Just confirmed with them.
  • Post in thread: New Docan 230Ah EVE Cells

    There seems to be a little war going on between Docan Fans and Docan Haters. @Alkaline you are a troll, but funny.?
  • Post in thread: Should I test every single Cell I received and other doubts/questions after Leaking Cell

    I thought everyone knew about Docan, I searched for docan when looking to buy and the 3rd result was that beware Docan thread in the results. Avoided them and went with 18650batterystore instead. The other 2 companies that have grade A cells are ezeal and sun fun kits. The rest are just selling...
  • Post in thread: Sun Fun Kits v4 kit

    I built the V4 kit with heating from Sun Fun Kits and it went together really well I also made a build thread. I used cells from 18650batterystore but I wished I had used the REPT 280 cells from Sun Fun Kits as the 280K test to around 278 where the REPT are in the 290 range. So overall happy...
  • Post in thread: Why is everyone ignoring Vivek Ramasamy, clearly the best candidate.

    Shocking how fellow republicans are not acknowledging this guy. Sharp, self funded, not under the control of a super pac, and is a minority so the wokies already disarmed with the usual racial bs they use to get there point across.

  • Post in thread: Cell price drop

    Why is that you have Sun fun kits total cost including shipping but everyone else excluded shipping? If you apply the same cost on all other vendors vendors than 18650 would be $133/ kw including shipping batteryhookup would be $146/kw including shipping Sunfun would be $122/kw including...
  • Post in thread: Wh and Ah and More

    That's news to me sounds like you are pulling stuff out of your rear. ?I have cells from 18650 and SFK both had test reports 18650 emailed me an excel file and the 48 cells I just got from sfk have all the cell testing data on each cell. While I don't agree with a lot of what Alkaline says, his...
  • Post in thread: EVE Official Alibaba Store, the end of Luyuan and other alibaba sellers?

    Ok well I just asked again and after mentioning this thread I got it down to 77.00/cell! So almost $400.00 cheaper(y) $4782.62 or $99.637 / cell shipped with all the fees. This is shipped to VA. Not too shabby, I'll contact EVE official store and see what they say.
  • Post in thread: High Quality 100AH LiFePo vs. DIY 4 - 3.2V Cells

    I built the above kit with cells form 18650, its a nice solid kit but I got the heated one with a 150 BMS and it has switch to turn on/off heating. I would do that again, but SFK has a new version of the 280K in stock and they are getting 311 AH form it. My 280K from 18650 got 278AH so just make...
