Hi, yes I do have, they run really well no issues so far. 

Good morning, 

Anyone else who can vouch for these batteries? 

I'm also curious, value for money appears to be really good. 

I'm particularly interested in the 5kwh battery.

 

Anyone else here with one (or more)? How long yiu had it for and how have things been so far? 

I installed  a 24V 100ah 2 days ago and seems to be working well

I will let you know how it works

Customer is very happy 

hi Aveer. did you eventually buy the battery - i am also considering this - looking for advice please -thanks

For my folks, I have ordered the 24v 3kw inverter and 1-off battery. to be a standalone backup unit (not wired in the DB).

Hoping to receive by the weekend but the holiday may delay (inclusive of a mini DB with surge arrestor etc)

 

I will report back once received and confirmed working.

I've just installed the 24v battery and can't fault it so far. Even comes with a mounting kit.

Any feedback on that inverter Garthox?

I'll be receiving it tomorrow, they were not done with it before the long weekend.

I got two installed on Friday. So far so good. Little confused however, the manual and website specs states rated capacity as 110Ah but specs sticker on the battery says rated capacity is 100Ah. But the Deye immediately started communicating with batteries.

 

Do do you have to pair the battery with inverter? saw a video How to Setup BMS Communication for Growatt Inverter with Esener Lithium-ion Batteries.

 

Anyone with an Esener ES 5.12 KWH connected to a LuxpowerTek SNA5000 inverter? What battery setting are you using?

I have been using 2 x 24v Esener batteries and they work perfectly.

I have the same setup,I used setting 2 and works 100%

I installed quite a few Luxpower SNA 5000 with Shoto, Pylon and Hubble all setting 2 works fine. Setting 2 should be fine for Esener.

Edit: Almost forgot also used Revov R100  battery setting 2.

Hi, I have a Synapse 3.0v+ 2,4kw inverter, will it work with the Esener 2,56 24v battery?

2 Essential questions battery system manufacturers should be able to answer to consumers is :

1 : Who manufacture the cells used inside the battery ?

2: Who manufacture the BMS used to protect the cells inside the battery ?

If they don't want to answer these 2 essential questions, then run away !

( Long term testing done in Australia has shown that most battery system failures are due to BMS faults or failures ...)

I want to purchase one as well. I noticed they don't have a rj45 connector. Does that affect the operation?

Hi anyone have any negatives about these batteries? 

Application is purely backup load shedding and wont be used with panels for now.

 

TIA

 

I am running an Esener Inverter on two Esener 5.12kwh batteries - no issues the last year + 
ES-5248 PRO+ Inverter and 2x ES-5.12KWH batteries

Getting a second Inverter and another battery as we speak - because it over performs my expectations in terms of charging and I am increasing my system capacity.
 
There is a Chinese guy (Kevin) from Esener in South Africa that does support on settings and cabling, etc, works great on text translations (no voice comms)

For small installs, I would definitely suggest the Esener brand - the battery and the Inverter speak perfectly to each other.
