From Aliexpress, arrived early which was good, £3800ish all inclusive, all taxes and duties paid
I got the 120ah and they actually show 125ah
Three in total, I will see how it goes but if I have the money I will get one of the 11kwh ones which are £2600ish

So far in the 10days of fitting them they seem good, I've seen a peak load from my inverter of nearly 6kw and didn't hear of any issues (I've been away since I fitted them)

The seller has been helpful, they sent me a firmware update which will make the bms work with my inverter without issues which I will do this weekend.
16 250w Trina panels
Voltronic Axpert Max 8Kw hybrid inverter
3 x Chinese 125Ah (19Kwh total) batteries
To be done, more panels and a wind turbine

That's about half the price of Pylontech, well done, it's another alternative than the build your own. :twisted:

Edit - Fecking hell, the additional one your thinking of is 85kg. :?
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated
5 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

Yeah they are heavy beasts for sure, mine are about 50kgs each but at the moment they seem worth it.

I think they could be close to the cost of a self build if the figures are right that I saw in another thread. I have 375ah for 3.8k with a warranty and technical support

Only thing is at the moment I can't seem to charge them to 100% my inverter can do the max 100amps the batteries can take but I've done 90amps and they have only been at 90% I reduced it to 70amps last night and in the 4hrs of charging they still were at 90% I'm not sure if it's because the bms isn't connected yet. But saying that 90% since 4:30am and at 7pm at 78% with only 3.8kwh of solar
