Hello board members,

I have quite serious trouble with Battery Hookup I purchased quite a lot of BYD packs as they had some in stock, the communication is very fragmented and the goods are paid for quite some time now and haven't been shipped, I use a forwarding service to get them to EU with a warehouse in Texas which should not be any problem...
But they don't perform very good at the moment...

Has anybody had similar experience?

Did you check the details about transport of big lithium cells?
 
I know, my forwarder don't care so me neither...
But it's LiFePo4 so it's a bit less dangerous...
It's in a shared Container...
 
Please contact them to sort the problem out. Their phone number and email address are on the "Contact Us" page. If you call, please note their business hours are in the EST time zone.

Contact Info > https://batteryhookup.com/pages/contact-us

We are not able to help you with anything here since we do not have control over that business.

Also, they are backed up because of the huge amount of Black Friday orders. Perhaps that is the cause of the delay?
 
Be sure I have contacted them several times without an answer or with answers which weren't helping but finally they shipped out my stuff, hopefully things clear up now.

I will keep you updated...
 
I today talked in detail with forwarding agency which takes care of the shipping from US to Germany (I'm in Austria) and he knows exactly what he is doing he has already imported some Lithium based batteries.

Which impressed me quite!
Because the shipping is very reasonable priced.
 
They let me down for 2 weeks, maybe they sold stuff which wasn't in house on time? Seems a bit strange but looks as there is a good outcome...
 
They are a small business, dont always expect things at Amazon Prime speeds they probably had a bunch of stuff ahead of you to fulfill.
 
If I were to start from scratch these would be a great option. My next system will come from a EV of some sort
 
That would be absolutely OK if they would have committed that clearly the usually responded to my questions but never said clearly that it will take 2 weeks to ship which is completely OK if they would just say that!

However things should get dispatched today to the US warehouse.

If anyone is interested in the Export Service it's
the following company who is doing this:

With pretty reasonable pricing.

I just recieved my LiFePO4 batteries today. I ordered them on December 7 once they were announced they were back in stock and they were marked as shipped on December 16.

I was hoping to figure out the built in BMS/cell monitor, but it looks like a daughter board is missing from all of my modules. The main board is there, but a second board is visible in DavidPoz's video. The board looks like it communicated over CAN.

I will most likely end up using DIYBMS.
