Looks like what @chaka said about their english was a legit thing. lol They didnt get us info on more than two? or did you not ask yet?
My guess is that if they are going to have a hard time working with us to setup the deal, they would have a hard time working with us to setup individual shipping.
Sounds to me like we might have to consider getting it shipped to one person who then ships it out to the rest of us. Anybody else getting that vibe or am I a crazy ole shark?
Language barrier or no, I think weāre getting slow-played on this hand. They know what we want. I already messaged them with very clear/ concise questions and they keep coming back with that same quote that @paragon just got. I have the exact same quote in my inbox. They donāt seem to understand the concept of group buy, ORā¦They are slow playing us because a good sales department knows how to maximize profits. IDK
@sharkface I totally agree with you, dude. It sounds sketchy at best to get group pricing and individual shipping looks like it would not really be a smart $$$ move for Bestech.
I said I was in so damn it Iām in, but if this is not the right deal for us, maybe reconsider the Supowerbattery one:
Hereās an 80A version:
Any thoughts?
Btw sorry this is out of the question, before ordering, is it possible to use BMS of lets say 10s configuration for 6s configuration (at least lower than 10s)?
Iāve heard back from Bestech! Like @chaka has mentioned, communication with them is a little bit challenging. But hereās what I was able to learn:
They are willing to send multiple invoices for the order, so we can each pay through paypal for our individual purchases. They will ship to multiple addresses, but itās not clear if the MOQ for each address is one BMS or two. I think itās one, but I guess weāll find out!
Their instructions are for me to send them a mailing address and an email address for each buyer, and they then will send a quote\invoice to each of us with payment instructions. We can chose, at that point, to dive in or not.
So, if you want to give it a shot, PM me that info and Iāll send it to them as a bundle. This particular BMS seems ideal, which is my motivation for trying this one instead others.
I like the idea of many of us from the group liion order getting the same BMS for our builds, we can troubleshoot together!
DISCLAIMER: Iāve never ordered from Bestech before, and I canāt speak to their speed or reliability, so please know that Iām just trying to help! If we all get ripped off, go after them, not me
If anyone wants to get down on a group buy on the Samsung 25r lipo cells in a few months, I would be down for it. I wasnāt able to get on the last one due to $$$, but Iāll be better off in a few months.
Thanks for PMāing me your info everyone. I sent the order to Bestech today. We should each receive an invoice and instructions for payment via email. My fingers are crossed that this works!
yeah thatās what i got. i didnāt realize it until after i paid, but it was $99 for both instead of the $78 plus shipping and a paypal fee. $133 total. But we also didnāt get the 60amp version, we got the 80 amp version with a burst over current protection at 240 amps, which i thought was kind of ridiculous until i remembered the cells we bought each have a 100amp burst and 20 amp continuous and i think most of us are doing 10S4P with those cells, which is also quite ridiculous.
but thatās what we do here. We build ridiculously over powered rocket sticks.
Wow this BMS is so expensive that doesnāt count the lithium setup its self. If you add a voltmeter + soft switch + fuse with just 10s3p config youāll end up same price as space cell minus the case. Not sure if buying BMSāes worth when the bms is so expensive. TBh they should cost less than 20 euro when bought together in high quantity.
Why do you need the BMS for the discharge ?
Canāt you just have it for the charging and bypass it for the ride ?
You could then go to a much cheaper BMS since you have less current requirements ?
