    Thank you for these tear downs of lower priced models, VERY HELPFUL❤🎉. Appears the actual packs are getting better built but manufacturers still trying to save $ and cheaping out on wire now😢

    Nice to see what it looks like inside. I picked up this battery to run a small trolling motor on my kayak. It only pulls a maximum of about 20 amps so this should work fine for my needs.

      Definitely good to go for your application!!
      I’m going to use the Solorage X on my irrigation pump (30A load) for the garden.
      Take care!

    Well it is not a bad quality but I am not happy about the under sized wire. But other than that it seems to be a decent budget battery. Thanks for a honest review!

      Has its drawbacks. But for an open minded person that wants cheap “storage batteries” it might fit the bill nicely! Almost impossible to even buy the cells and a plastic case to build your own at these prices!

    • @Tri-Lobe
      @Tri-Lobe 3 місяці тому +1

      @THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD I agree! For a large bank of batteries it would work and probably never have a issue. Thanks for honest reviews

    Just take the B- out, flip the box on mattress or pillow and 1 quick shake down will make the pack de-glue and drop.
    Made a project with one of these and it came with the above mentioned method. Also, I never could get the Overcurrent to engage, which was concerning for me. I completly removed blue plastic from cells and all QR codes were unreadable and cells look Grade B at best, slightly swollen.
    For the price though, possibly worth it, time will tell. Try Feuruect 12v 100ah if you can next. I openen one of those up and cells look in much better shape.

      Definitely recommended conservative underrating protection devices if using this product. 50A-60A breaker may suffice due to small wire and many reports of this BMS not behaving correctly. No way I’d run 100A sustained through this unit. Low amperage/storage capacity uses should be ok. Or cell harvesting when the price drops. I’ve seen it as low as $139.00

    what a deal... I will be upgrading some solar soon. gonna have a lot of thinking to do when the time comes on what direction to go. Been lookin at Signature Solar products a lot lately. Any thoughts on their Solar Mini Splits? Hope all is well.

    • @THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD

      My $.02 I’d go with a standard high seer unit. 25 SEER+ model from a reputable manufacturer (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Gree etc.) and run on standard off grid inverter or grid power. Less complex and easy to get parts locally for a common model mini split. Hope this helps.

      @@THEOFFGRIDMOUNTAINHOMESTEAD yup get what you pay for 🤣 im sure it will still be good but higher chances of it not getting a good life span.. I'd be happy if that gets at least 5 years for the cost.. the fake daly bms gave it away thats its just a used reject cells I bet like most companies do and say this and that 5000+ life cycle 🤣 .. just a pain to get warranty since they are over seas and shipping this kinds of battery is expensive and will take months to get a replacement I bet 🤣
