Where is the best place to by a 16kW 3 phase Deye or Sunsynk LV hybrid inverter?

Hi, Yes, I'm interested. Please send me your contact details.

Hi all, I'm back in the market for LifePo4 100A or 120A cells. Another one of my cells has failed in my LBSA battery which makes it 5 so far. Anyone got stock?

Hi, Where can I buy a 16 x 100A BMS? LBSA used to sell them but I dont think they do anymore. Thanks, Kevin

No they havent started to swell but 4 of them lost most of their capacity after about a year and had to be replaced.

I will not be doing business with them ever again.

I got some batteries from a guy called Neil in Thornton. PM me for his number. I ended up replacing 4 cells out of the 16. I did a capacity test on each of them and they were defintely way below what they should have been.

Hi, Thanks, I already found some.

Hi all, I'm looking for a decent PWM Charge Controller about 20-30 Amps to use for 12V shed lighting. Lots around online but most of then look like junk. Any recommendations?

This what mine looks like after replacing C2.

Agreed. Top balancing is essential as well as using good quality cells.

In my case its cell 2 that is the problem. What happens is after about 15 minutes cell 2 voltage drops to about 2.8v and I see a current spike of 72 amps on the logs. The SOC then drops down to about 10%. I suspect there may be another cell thats on its way out but I will first replace C2 and then monitor the battery and see how it responds.

I bought a built 6kwh unit from LBSA as a reseller. It worked well for the first 3 months and after that had endless problems on and off. Sent it up to Joburg for a warranty repair and it came back with what seems to be the same fault. They want me to send it back for the second time but shipping from Cape Town to Joburg and back costs around R1200.00 not to mention the labour to uninstall, package and re-install, inconvenience etc. I know that one of the cells is faulty but they've refused to provide me with a replacement part to repair it locally. They insist on it being sent back to them which is will cost another R1200.00 and is totally impractical. They told me that if we repair it ourseves then will void the warranty but I'm not too concerned about that as the warranty is worth nothing if it costs a fortune to return for repairs. My advice is that unless you live within close proximity of the LBSA factory then dont buy one. I certainly wont be doing so again.

They dont have stock. These things seem to be scarce as hen's teeth with all the loddshedding. I am desperate as I need to repair an LBSA battery and they have not been much help.
