temu lithium batteries

[chris69]

Just seen a 300amp lithium on Temu 200amp discharge and 100amp max charge $887 shipped localy but there round cells not prismatic but that said thats a good price better than kings 300amp lithium batteries.

They have 100amp batteries but there lithium polymer cell for $317 ok to power a kayak with a motor for that price.

Yes thats true in most or some cases but why pay more for something thats getting sold heaps cheaper that might be and sometimes the same as the higher priced item if you dont pull it apart you will never know what your paying for and that been proven about a high quality lithium battery made in austraila thats not made at a high quality but charge like it is.

Ive found items on temu like bend back lures for $1.79 the everyone pays $17to$29 for here and $13 6gang fuse boxes that we $30 here for the exactly same product.

My question on this product would be, why only 200a discharge and 100a charge? Is it they’ve just put in a super cheap BMS that can only handle these numbers? Some may say well who’s charging with more than 100a and 200a discharge is plenty.

[chris69]

I think it’s the round cells in them there not prismatic and there’s not much info but as I said cheaper than kings 300amp lithiums.

100 amp charge on a 300ah battery is one third of capacity--that is quite acceptable, and in fact, quite normal. And 200 amp max discharge? Well, plenty of reputable cells out there that will spec that. It all depends on what you intend to use it for. For example, when I bought my 150ah Amptron for the previous camper, I had a choice of either 100 or 200 amp max discharge. 200 amp version was $100 more. As I had no intention of using any inverter of more than 600 watts on it, the 100 amp model was fine.
So, you pay your money and you take your chances. Where are Kings made ? Personally, I steer right away from Temu, just too many bad stories. Anything from stuff never arriving to outright scams.This is not an aversion to Chinese vendors in general, as i have bought a lot of small stuff on Ali Express, and have always been more than satisfied with the process. Fast shipping, with prices generally a quarter of what i would be paying for the IDENTICAL item if I bought it locally , or even off ebay. So many ebay vendors now are just drop shippers, you order off them, they order from mainland China, then it get shipped to you . They will have an Australian address, come up as an Australian vendor, but they ain't. Ali Express ship direct to Perth if you have a WA address, 12 day delivery guarantee, and, if they go just one day over that date, you get an automatic $1 off your next purchase from any vendor on their site. It really burns me to see, for example, those silicone rubber flying fish we use for billfish teasers being repackaged and sold for about $20-25 ea in a big tackle store, when I buy the same thing for $4.50 from Ali Express. And free shipping for most purchases over $15. Now I'm familiar with what they have on offer, I'm seeing it all the time in those circumstances. Or on ebay with a fat margin tacked on by dropshippers.

Luv my temu never been ripped off so to speak only one thing never arrived and got my money back and ive had my parcel arrive and got all my money refunded because the courier never did his end and if its late you get $5 off.

I was never going to buy one ive built my own lithium i was just putting it out there because they have a 10year warrenty and if you did not get your 300 amps its still cheaper than kings for a 2year warrenty.

Temu , yeah good for small end bits n pieces but would stay away with high end products. Just my thoughts. Have purchased from said online and have waited n waited for what ended up ElCheapo or not recieved at all !!.

Agree with Volvo, I've thrown a few low end items in the bin, last lot of spade bits I bought wouldn't go through the softest pine without heaps of grunt behind them.
I've bought $2.50 prawn lures and they've outfished some of the $18 ones.

Another one of my whims with Temu is if one buys something for low dollar they sometimes dont send the item and wait for you to complain and then refund the money.
I paid for couple of pairs of elcheap sunnies prior to purchasing my Makos just for spares and way its going i doubt they will be shipped??. Been a couple of weeks now and still waiting for word lol..
Mindyou i have no doubt my money will be refunded..

[tunaticer]

My experiences with Temu are all the same...barely functional items that do not last.
Yes they are cheap and yes they do work initially, so if that suits the requirements then go ahead....
I find ########## items to be far better quality overall.
As far as a lithium battery goes, nah, I would rather invest more into a good known battery.

Nearly all Lifepo4 bateries run the same cels regardless of how expensive they are (slight variations but not huge). the only difference is the BMS, internal connections and the case. (same as 99% of camp fridges all run the same compressor type just the outer bits that make up the quality difference)
I bought a cheap Voltx 24v lifepo years ago. (probably the same as your TEMU one)

My plan was to use it until it brakes. cut the top off and replace the $20 Temu BMS with a $100 quality one and check connections, balance the cells again and stick it back together ( likely cheap BMS is what fails). cells will usually be fine.

so far ive run the battery for 2 years and had zero problems anyhow.

[Dignity]

You can be lucky. A lot of cheap ones are refurbished from failed batteries. Take the cells that are still reasonable and put them together and rebalance them and resell them. I've managed to rebalance an 18V battery that wasn't charging to full potential. Mind you, didn't work on the one my brother had but 50 % success rate, mind you the sample data wasn't as large as preferred.
