A long route to light yet it works. 12.24V on the LB.

So as well as the new "C" versions being 0.5V lower max charging spec when compared with older versions, they want another 0.3V below their own lower spec when using manual control.
Under BMS control the max the battery will ever ask for is 53.2v for the C types inc the new US5000.nowty wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 1:05 pm

Mine are still ok as I charge to 56.4V but need to subtract my extra cell, so its 56.4V - 3.5V = 52.9V.
But its something for others with parallel packs to watch out for, the max charge voltage should be 53.2V and not 53.5V as it says in the general spec. I certainly was not aware of that.![]()
Hey pal, it's all in the thread.
Prices are around $110 per cell, then add on $400 or so for shipping and stuff. I'd say a rule of thumb seems to be its currently working out around £2000 for 15 of these cells, shipped to the UK. The 280Ah cells are 0.9kWh (3.2v * 280Ah) each, so thats about 13.5kWh. Compare that to Pylontech prices from a supplier of your choice
There's not much for it to notice really. The battery still looks like a Pylontech battery, its just bigger capacity. I think the Pylontechs do report their capacity back to the inverter so it theoretically could notice that the battery is taking a lot more charge than it should. But do any in practise? I seriously doubt it.
Yes exactly, we have 15 in series if you want to parallel them up with PylonsAren't pylon a werid 15S pack instead of 16S?
As Caesium says, it is quite simple and worth doing. I ask anyone thinking of doing it to read the whole thread so we know they are reasonably aware of what they are getting into.
