Romtech - experiences + Dyness battery box contents

Just a quick update - great service from Romtech. Battery arrived today via Courier Guy. Also, there are 2x 2050mm cables in the box, as well as the short ones. -

Thanks, yep definitely too short, so I’d need to make new ones up. The batteries will be installed side by side. -

Thanks, time is a bit scarce at the moment, and it's a 100km drive to the suppliers so it's a bit tricky. I was also looking at Solar and Inverter warehouse, their prices are about the same but I was hoping to order from Romtech because they've got some other things I need as well. Thanks, I'll drop them all a mail and hopefully, they can tell me what's in the box. -
Hi 1)Has anyone dealt with Romtech before, are they reputable? Looking at buying a battery from them. Any other suppliers I should be looking at? I'm in Centurion. 2)Anyone knows what comes in the box of a Dyness BX51100 battery? This will be an additional battery, so I'm hoping the DC cables and maybe an ethernet cable would be included. Thanks

Mecer LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Batteries: Any experience
johanp replied to Corné's topic in Product Opinions & Reviews
Quick update. So I've had zero issues with the Mecer 200AH + RCT Axpert 1kw combo, and only managed to run it down once recently when I accidentally bumped the power plug out of its socket without noticing. Upgrading to a fully installed Deye system now, but I can HIGHLY recommend this for running TV and other electronics, I even had a fridge/freezer connected to it. The only caveat is that it's VERY noisy, so it needs to be installed in a garage or far away from people. -
Mecer LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Batteries: Any experience

I had the 24v version of that one. It had no user configurable options unfortunately. -

That is great advice, thanks. I'll set it to 20A, and cutoff at 10.9 -
Mecer LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Batteries: Any experience
johanp replied to Corné's topic in Product Opinions & Reviews
Hi Thanks for all the help and advice offered in this thread, I have concluded that the Mecer would suit my needs, so I've ordered and it's arrived yesterday. It was sitting on 13.27v for what it's worth. I'd just like to confirm that these settings are correct? The inverter's charge current is unfortunately set in increments of 10, so it's either 10 or 20. For the time being(under stage 1 &2) I should probably set it to 10 and see how that goes? Thanks -

https://pclinkshop.co.za/ups-inverters-and-powerbank/inverters/bms-communication-box-for-using-lithium-batteries-on-rct-axpert-inverters/ I'm assuming this would solve that problem? -
Mecer LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Batteries: Any experience
johanp replied to Corné's topic in Product Opinions & Reviews
Thanks, that's the plan - I wanted to buy one 200ah which would suit my current needs, but then have the option of adding another 200ah later if my needs change for whatever reason. -
Mecer LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Batteries: Any experience
johanp replied to Corné's topic in Product Opinions & Reviews
Thanks, that makes sense. I've been holding out for Vision(stock expected August apparently), but with stage 4 I may end up taking a chance on Mecer. -

That is interesting, thanks. Do you know if they can be run in parallel? -
Mecer LiFePO4 Lithium Ion Batteries: Any experience
johanp replied to Corné's topic in Product Opinions & Reviews
Hi Thanks for the advice and knowledge shared on here, I'm pretty much sold on the Vision 200ah battery paired with my existing RCT Axpert 1kv/12v, problem is finding stock - anyone perhaps know of a shop in GP that's got stock? Mecer seems to be plentiful, but I feel it could be limiting if I ever decide to go 24v, or add a 2nd in parallel. That being said, stage 4 load shedding may force my hand into settling for the Mecer. Thanks
