Just Place new Order on Alibaba- 280AH x 8 for 1260.00 USD Delivered, Grade A to Canada

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.
 
Yesterday Amy replied to my message.
I asked about shipping 24 (280ah cells)
All in all it would be $4143.00

So a little bit mora than double for shipping!
Which is basicaly tha same every other place. Got to wait and see how much by sea would be but i doubt it would be significally less.....
 
When i talked to Amy she said she could not say that the cells where new grade A cell. I ended up buying the same cells from Shenzhen Basen technology on alibaba . shipping was 1/2 the price. Of coarse i cant say anything until i have them in my hand. I even emailed Amy and she could not match the shipping price.. This seller assured my that there new grade a EVE cells and sent me videos. I feel Its all a roll of the dice.
before I found Shenzhen Basen technology. I purchased from Donggua billion . I asked for pictures of my shipment and could see the 2 cells had damage.I requested a refund and that was granted. so betime i got to Shenzhen Basen I was asking a lot of questions. so my fingers crossed and waiting for delivery.
 
Got a shipping ticket for my four cells and video's + pictures from Amy. They look like nice new cells, looking forward to them getting here... in what? 6 weeks lol. But they are on their way...
 
Did mndare ever do a capacity test and discuss the results or am I blind and missed it after scrolling through?
 
I am interested in hearing how this cell works set up in a 24v setup. Also, recommendations on battery control module, low temperature sensor, assembly and boxing recommendations.
 
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!

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.
 
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.
so 16 x 280Ah =4480Ah? thats a lot makes me feel good again haha.

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?

Every Inverter/Charger I have looked at, the charger works off 110v/240v.
Can't remember seeing a Inverter/Charger thats is a SCC, too. Maybe post a link to what you're talking about.
 
My AIMS 24v, 3000watt Inverter/Solar Charger P/N: PICOGLF30W24V120V

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.

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.
 
Victron EasySolar-II GX "The EasySolar-II GX combines a MPPT Solar Charge Controller, an inverter/charger and control hub in one enclosure. The product is easy to install, with a minimum of wiring. " wouldnt be cheap!

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.

Sorry about that. I also found it on YouTube. Looks like a nice unit.

Amy just messaged that:

Shipping by sea (door-to-door) channels and ordinary Air Frieght have not been restored, only express delivery can arrive to Canada
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?
