Correct me if I'm wrong, these are still the best bang for the buck even though the battery was not a full 400ah right? I ordered the 500 and it should arrive Nov 24-28

Great to hear. I'll be ordering at least 32 in about two weeks when I drive back to the US (in Cabo). What have LiFePO4 prices done in a year? How much have they jumped up in price? This is for an off-grid house in Mexico.

I ordered the 12V 500AH on November 13th, 2019 Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Lifepo4-battery-Lithium-Electric-620ah%C3%971set/dp/B07W7RLWGX/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lifepo4&qid=1573656375&sr=8-1&th=1

I received my 16s BMS in a bit less than a month. Received emails when it was shipped.

My three 12v 500ah batteries are still working fine. I will be driving from Mexico to California in two days to replace the BMS that has arrived. So Steve S has built a better setup at a cheaper price? Steve I assume you looked up prices and quality of the product? Since I have to solder in a...

I'm ordering the Overkill 16s tomorrow. Please post some photos when you get it all figured out.

I'm looking at EVE 280ah and 16 cells are $1450 but shipping is $1370. Ouch.

SHUNBIN say's they have an improved BMS now. Ugh. I have been using the batteries for months no problem. For sure next time I build my own battery bank. Yes, we have improved the BMS, the battery can support parallel or series now, do you want to try to order the new version 2 pieces to...

Well after cranking music up full volume for 4.5 hours in the desert, my battery monitor displayed 80% state of charge. I wish I had the full ah/kwh reading but apparently I did not have the Balmar SG200 display fully pressed in (I still can't get connector to snap using hands, need channel...

I have Carrier 18k BTU minisplits with a SEER around 20 (I'd have to check Costco). These use about 1800 watts at full power max fan. I don't care what the inverter/low power mode is because it may kick to high power (max 7200 watt inverter). Did the best I can insulating a concrete block house...

My 12V 500ah weighs 98 lbs. The dimensions aren't really that large but a beast to move. No dents in the stainless steel. Pressed the button and it read like 13.4v. No complaints. Hauling it to Mexico this Friday which will be close to a weeks drive. Then charging with solar, hooking up Balmar...

What is the advantage having them come from China and not Texas? Shipping costs? I am located in California and need at least 32 Eve 280ah batteries. Why did you chose the 280 over the 304?

Is this SHUNBIN?

I drove 1600 miles back to California. The replacement BMS did not arrive. As I am driving back to Mexico, SHUN BIN requested a photo. Battery remains in California. I am screwed

Wow, great video on marine grade. Thank you.

Right now, I have three at 13.1 and the bad dropped to 12.3. Yanking it out in the morning. How do I test each cell for shorting? I will gladly clip wires if I know where the problem is. These are the 500ah ones. I just need power at 48v. Here is reply from SHUN BIN. I assure you 48v in series...

It appears my solar hours in Cabo are similar to Florida. I think I'm going to have to go adjustable tilt angle to survive off grid at latitude 22 and pick up 6 more panels (total of 36 x 300). Just not enough juice during fall winter like you said...

I have had 3/4 Outback FlexMax 80's die on me. My original intention was to oversize the number of panels so I could max out the 80 amps. Original configuration was 12x300w panels. I increased the panels to 18 per charge controller and panels are 300-370watts (3 per string, 6 strings). The...

I'll be pulling the trigger on 16 or 32 cells in the next two weeks. Everyone still on board that these are good cells at a good price? I just saw Tony's PDF and 8 cells for $1300 or so is a lot better than what I saw in Will's video from November (4 cells for $1100).

What is the difference between ordering from China or Texas? Price? I need 32 cells (to start with). Is LF280K the recommended cell for running off grid house? Just setup one 48v battery bank using the cells from my Amazon SHUNBIN using Overkill 16s BMS with Heltec equalizer/balancer based off...

I've been camping out in my trailer for a few days now. Cranking up toons, lights on, using coffee pot....I just ordered three more 500 ah (or less, whatever) batteries. Not doing Battleborn. Maybe on my next solar setup (I have two properties in Cabo) I will try something different. So that's...

I didn't go with less than 1/4" because it wasn't the tinned copper bar. Ordered after another guy was ordering the same thing today and sent a message. Thanks.

Nice find on the busbar info...saved on laptop.

I have a 12kw Outback Radian inverter. I'm running 2 AWG from four batteries to a Victron Lynx Distributor. I'll be running two pair of 4 gauge from the Lynx distributor to the Radian and two pair to my 7.2kw Flexpower. I never plan on draining anything close to that from the batteries at night...

Negative cell to positive post is 10.7v. SHUN BIN is going to send out a new BMS. However, I do not have a solder iron yet and I'm also in Cabo San Lucas. Probably going to be a while till I can drive back to California. Price is cheaper on Amazon MX due to dollar to peso ratio right now!!

I am in trouble. I replaced the SHUNBIN BMS as stated above. I drove it down 1600 miles to Mexico so I could swap out a known good SHUNBIN battery and the damn thing still gets super hot. Once again dumbass SHUNBIN say's oh that is normal. I'm telling you it is NOT normal otherwise the others...

I bought the supposed 500ah 12v battery from ShunBin. Just ordered an overkill solar BMS because I had four batteries in series. However, each battery is 100 lbs and the cells look much larger than anything I've seen in here or Alibaba searches. Each cell is I thin 10.5"x 9". No idea of true...

ok so how much for four cells not including shipping? I was hoping to have purchased a bunch of them by now but.....lawsuit has not paid me yet.

Ordering on of these LiFePO4 batteries today (12V 500 ah) and testing with Xantrex 12V. If it works well then I will order three more. https://www.amazon.com/Lifepo4-battery-Lithium-Electric-500ah%C3%971set/dp/B07W7RLWGX/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=500ah+lifepo4&qid=1573487039&sprefix=500+ah&sr=8-3

Those voltages seem low. Aren't you supposed to stop at 12.9 or 12.8? I haven't seen mine go below 13.3v for two weeks
