 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

G'Day Guy's, Well with 4 days to go it will be interesting to see how much these are 48 volt 50AH lithium iron phosphate batteries made in Adelaide which are brandnew and discontinued stock. If they aren't over priced a few of them may just be enough for me to to start powering my shearing shed project. Regards Bryan |

Hi Bryan, Those type of batteries typically require a network and internet connection to work, they don't work properly on there own for a standalone system, also if they have been siting for a long time left uncharged the BMS will drain the cells to Zero = STUFFED , not seen this happen with other BMS and battery builds, the cells alone can sit for years untouched without issue. I have one of the Black case sonnens 2.5Kwh, they are also 15s...,pouch cells in 15s 2p arrangement, net even 16s like others. Interesting to watch..........Save your money for something else.

WOW thanks for that Aaron  maybe I need to be a slave for the wage again to afford these.24 volt 600AH $3533 + gst 48 volt 600ah $6577 + gst For Ceil brand forklift batteries, now these are quotes from that pilot project I did so yea a few weeks work should cover them. My last sale for a tobacco pouch was $150 made from roo hide and handsewn just worked for me and got 15 years out of the first pouch Guess if I made a 100 of them I could buy a 1000AH or 960AH as they do now for about 11K. With so many smokers doing chop chop my pouch's may be a hit so may have to go back to my old trade of being a leathersmith I did back of the turn of this century  Regards Bryan |
