I called in and requested support. After further testing it was determined the cell was indeed faulty. So I sent the cell back and the wait began. I did notice however how the cells were all bloated. When you receive the cell pack they are all nicely strapped and compressed. Anyway, I received the battery cell replacement that next friday and of course it came in the evening hours. I quickly tested them out and the issue still was not resolved. Who can believe that 2 cells in a row would be faulty. I tested this out multi times through the weekend, shifting the newly replaced cell to a different position in the pack and even different BMS and the charger would not charge and that particular cell, no matter where it was in the chain of cells would race a tell the bms to stop charging that it was full when the other cells were no where close. Still hard to believe when they say the cells are tested 3 times to be to spec. Maybey they do but then fail to test when they have the singular cells as a 12volt pack. Anyway, my impression is quite mote since they stated they would not be selling or holding them any longer. Though after they sent the third one, which they said that would be last one sent it was too expensive to send. I did ask, isnt this under warranty and I sure didn't want to receive something not working as promised in your web site. In fact it is hard to test to see I can only guarantee that they go to 135 ah -- not the 150 because their bms cuts off at 90% charge. I also learned they were getting frustrated by this community as well as others and their questions they would come to them with. Its hard to imagine that this being one of the more expensive components of the project that people would not have questions. Leaves me with questions of their credibility for sure. As like I said they did offer to refund but that would leave me with one supposed 150 ah, tested at 138 ah battery and nothing to parallel it to. I didn't want my money but a working product I purchased.
Anyway, long story short I found another company and am testing them now. Its the 18650batterystore adn overkill solar bms. Here you will see the outcome and definately impressed with thier products. I will leave a link to both down below and hope you will visit. I was not promised anything from them but I do promise you if I find good products and reputable here in the state side I will share.
As soon as the battery box comes in and the terminals ect we will be using this bms and cells to build a small battery pack self contained looking like a regular packaged battery for teaching/training purposes.
Stay Tuned...

View MoreJust a few more details and the Portable Generator Project will be called complete -- minus one thing from EMP Shield and will need to save up for it. Today we received our 12v parallel battery equalizer. Hard to find but finally successful. Was easy to install and I surely was impressed with the amount of cabling they gave with the kit.

View MoreIt's been awhile but alas the battery cells arrived today and hopefully the BMS will arrive tomorrow. The cells show a bit of swelling, nothing drastic but obvious and they cam in charged quite low which is to be expected for safety and shipping rules. Here we took a few pictures preparing the cells with the heating pads and heat shield and waiting for the bms to arrive. We charged the initial battery pack to full and now resting, when bms is installed it will then charge for about 7-8 hours -- like I said they are quite low, and then before we place into the case and the parallel them together then charge again, we will let it rest for the rest of the evening. The BMS is arriving usps and we have a new delivery driver which means late arrival each day. Looking forward, after installed we will then install the inverter and we will then be testing everything out. We are making this also in a full video but sharing this for a sneak preview...
Here are some of the parts we used tonight.
