The link on the homepage takes me here: https://solardeity.co.za/pylontech-servicesupport/

I don't see any option to do step 2:

  1. Register your old batteries for testing.

Would be nice if the max credit you can receive was listed per battery model. That would give an indication of whether it would be worth my time to even request a trade-in quote or not. It would also be more efficient for the business because then they don't have to make unnecessary callouts.

Book A Ticket

When you book the ticket just mention you are applying for the Fidus Upgrade and battery trade in options on powerforum.co.za

You will find the Book a ticket closer to the bottom of the Solar Deity Page I have updated the instructions to follow on my main post.

It is very simple and easy there is a process however.

Sorry after the run around when I had swollen US3000's and being told I overcharged , when there is supposed to be a bms to prevent this

Will never touch the brand again

What did you do with them? Landfill? And where did you buy them from?

Edited by Yellow Measure

I will also never touch or recommend them again. Similar experience. No support. Supplier said I must sort it out with importer. Solar Deity said my slave battery was overcharged? Battery was recycled by Solar Deity. Basically had to give the others away!
