I'm the same the charging inconsistencies is on and off depending how many amps are trow at them, it's only a few milly watts, I'm still happy with my cells.
Not sure if he reported it in this thread. He did report a test of the 120A Smart BMS with a 2P4S 560AH 12V battery made from these cells.Did mndare ever do a capacity test and discuss the results or am I blind and missed it after scrolling through?
If you need 12V, then 2P4S with a BMS for each battery works. The benefits of 24V over 12V is in other ways. The OG of this thread built some large 12V batteries using these cells. In his case he needed 12V batteries for his sailboat.Keen to hear how you went with this. I’m considering a similar project also plus 1000Ah More towards 1600Ah ? lithium but issue being going up to 24 V or even 48V as connecting them in parallel to keep 12V isn’t good practice. Max 3 parallel apparently. So then charging them will be an issue. Looking at 2300W solar to start with and probably add an additional 1000W if needed which I think it might. Nice to dream!
so 16 x 280Ah =4480Ah? thats a lot makes me feel good again haha.just ordered 16 280amp lithuim batteries from Amy. Alibaba is currently pinging my checking account for 7 cents. Hope this works out, because using credit card was frustration.
On my boat most stuff is 12V as well but as will has made quite clear by going 24 or 48V I can get smaller MPPTs and also save on the wiring and then just get a DC-DC converter 24/48-12V which are relatively cheap compaired to MPPT, and shopping around I've noticed inverters peak at 3000W for 12V systems more options at 24 and 48V.If you need 12V, then 2P4S with a BMS for each battery works.

Every Inverter/Charger I have looked at, the charger works off 110v/240v.On my boat most stuff is 12V as well but as will has made quite clear by going 24 or 48V I can get smaller MPPTs and also save on the wiring and then just get a DC-DC converter 24/48-12V which are relatively cheap compaired to MPPT, and shopping around I've noticed inverters peak at 3000W for 12V systems more options at 24 and 48V.
What are peoples thoughts of these charger inverter options on the market? how many panels can you connect?

Yeah, I've read the specs over and over and the only mention is where it's if you're looking for one without a SCC. But the rest of it doesn't say anything about a SCC built into it.Maybe I am missing something but I can't find any mention of solar charging capability with that inverter or any other inverter I have researched.

The only 3 in ones I know of are the ones like the MPP Solar Chargers.
My AIMS Global LF Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Solar Charger is an older version of the PICOGLF30W24V120VR (Note the 'R' at end, that appears to denote the Solar Charger feature since searching without yields the specs for the Inverter/AC Charger only). The Version 3.0 User Manual that came with it has a full section 2.5.5 that describes the Solar Charger function (p 12 of my v3.0 User Manual). My unit also has the built-in MPPT function.Maybe I am missing something but I can't find any mention of solar charging capability with that inverter or any other inverter I have researched.

The super fast shipping (8 working days) to interior BC, Canada is $623 USD. Has anyone been able to get the cheaper sea freight shipping from anyone recently? @The Electric Lee, how did you ship?Shipping by sea (door-to-door) channels and ordinary Air Frieght have not been restored, only express delivery can arrive to Canada
