Sorry for the long time waiting!
The fresh brand new EVE 280K cells is on the way now!!
Sorry that the video is to short, and couldn't talk much , cause the factory is noisy
And have upload the playlist for today's battery
Robert's video will be later provided
It might need to turn down the volume a little bit when you watch the video



And also run the test for the battery cells voltage and resistince randomly, all result is great

Thanks all
Colin

SWMBO just watched the video, is impressed and says thank you Colin.

I am assuming the batteries will be shipped in 4 packs with busbars and nuts in each box as before?

I ask so that the lads can collect while I'm away if they want to? I can liaise with No1 son if need be. I'd like to give them the option if excitement is high! :)

I enjoyed seeing the laser welder, I guess you’re not supposed to put your hand in front of it?

What is the price of 16x LF280k cells these days? (Delivered with all taxes and fees paid).
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

(Artist formally known as ******, well it should be obvious enough to those for whom such things are important.)

I couldn't say as we group bulk bought. I can say that the process as well as price was favorable. These batteries are not being sold for huge profit. In particular when compared to what else and who else is out there. Well worth a PM to Colin Stinsy.

Colin is as professional a man as I've ever worked with. 💪

Thanks Colin, much appreciated. On the battery capacity range available I should gain an extra 14 to 15kWh storage capacity. In total the shipment will increase our group capacity by 135kWh when taken at an average of 48V.

Should keep the 800W kettle running for a while. :hysteria:

Nice to have batteries fresh from the factory rather than 1year old off a stores shelf. 👌 We feel fortunate.
