I need qty 10 of 100Ah CALB cells for a customer within 2 weeks - keen to buy from anywhere; I can even buy for a premium and replace in a month!

Please call me on 043-848-0011

Hi all After several months of evaluating dozens of Chinese battery suppliers, and testing samples from several of them, I've now chosen a battery supplier from which to source 50Ah 3.2V LiFePO4 battery cells for my business. I will be purchasing at least a pallet of them at the end of this week, an...

This is the one system I never got round to installing - as such it is brand new and unused, still in the original box, but has been sitting in the box in my workshop for a couple of years. Same system as from EV Works: http://www.evworks.com.au/masterflux-sierra-06-0982y3-package-electric-a-c-c $12...

I'm selling the black Kia Rio 5-door hatchback that I converted to an EV and drove for a couple of years. As such all petrol parts have been removed, including the clutch and flywheel. Manual gearbox remains - ready to fit another electric motor. I've removed and sold all the electric drive parts, s...

All parts are now sold! Now all I have left is the base car - would make a perfect starting vehicle for someone else who is keen to do a conversion - I'll post separately...

Righto folks, I've sold the batteries, BMS, charger, cooling system!
I've added pricing to the motor and controller; for the rest assume about half the price of new. Or make me an offer!

Please text or email me as below, as I don't check the forum messenger often enough :-O

The time has come to sell my first EV conversion - the Kia Rio. It's still working, and capable of 110kph on the highway easily, as well as going over the Gateway Bridge. However the batteries are tired and probably need replacing - at least some of them. It has a manual gearbox with clutch removed....

Hey does anyone know or have experience with the SolaX inverters and battery systems?

Last time I spoke to them, it was about $1,600/kWh. That will probably come down though as production ramps up in Central/South America (Mexico?)

Lithium charging profiles are not really needed, because the float voltages can be adjusted for Lithium batteries to use the existing charge profiles.

I'm pleased to announce that I am now a distributor for Giant Power, which are effectively the Australian-certified and -warranted version of the PIP-4048MS, as well as the grid-connected version (also with a few minor upgrades - see earlier pages of this topic). See http://www.giantpower.com.au/int...

Hi Richo, what is "dist margin" for importing purposes?

Sorry, I should have had a closer look at what I downloaded from that directory before I asked! :-O

For my 3-phase system design, I'm working on the basis that the DC battery side is isolated from the AC grid side (for charging and discharging) - does this mean I can use 3 hybrid units, one on each phase of the 3-phase power, with common neutral lines, and a common battery system and EMS?!?

Thanks Weber, that's awesome! Sorry I thought it would be saved in a folder already, but thanks for the Googling work! I'm working on a concept to use 3 of these for a 3-phase system, without solar, just with batteries - to do "peak lopping" to reduce capacity charges. So your comms control of the c...

Hey all, does anyone know where I can get a proper user manual / wiring diagram for these inverters, particularly the 3kW grid-tie version? (Giant power IGS-3000WM).

I've asked Giant Power directly, so will post here if I get a reply...

+1 for BBB - I was about to suggest it based on Weber's first post last night. My friend builds electronics prototypes for a living - started with Arduino, then went to Rpi, now uses mostly BBB.

If there are specific questions/issues with BBB let me know - I can ask him.

Hi Dave (Weber) - quick question about your BMS please: Is there a deadband for the low voltage alarm that disconnects the load? Ie if the sun is shining but not enough to cover the load and the battery goes (almost) flat, and then the BMS disconnects the load as stage 1 of protecting the battery - ...

Re IEC 62109 certification issues discussed earlier - I got this reply from Aussie Batteries, a local Giant Power dealer: "our IPS units will be IEC Certified by June 11. Any units installed before are compliant already to current CEC and Australian Standards requirements." So we should be all good ...

Thank you Weber! That's some great info! Just checked that website link (http://www.solaraccreditation.com.au/products/inverters/approved-inverters.html) and it shows that only the IGS3000 has IEC 62109 accrediation, but the others don't (incl the IPS-4000WM / PIP4048) However the giant power websit...

Can anyone confirm the regulations for using imported electronics as part of a for-sale product in Australia? My understanding is that whoever imports the item is responsible for testing that it conforms to Aus standards, and is liable for insurance purposes etc if the device fails and causes damage...

Just thought I'd let you guys know about the Solar & Energy Storage conference & expo 13-14 May in Melbourne - seemed relevant to this topic somehow!

3 concurrent streams on solar PV and batteries. Registration is free, I just got flights & accom for $374.
