Re: Temu Leisure Battery
I've bought replica window switches from AliExpress along with a lot of other stuff but never bought anything from temu. The stuff I've had has been good so far on everything.

Thanks STP,
Some of the suppliers are uk based on there now, just weighing up whether these lithium batteries are worth a look.

Re: Temu Leisure Battery
I have to say for something big like a battery id probably buy local or from a UK supplier.

Re: Temu Leisure Battery
I wouldn't risk a battery from there.
I use AliExpress for a lot (great place to find VW electrical connectors etc) but you've gotta be realistic about what you're getting. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Re: Temu Leisure Battery
Lithium ion leisure batteries have been known to catch fire, even from reputable suppliers due to faulty BMS. At least they will issue a recall if faults are found.
Some might be advertised as the safer Lifepo4 but I still wouldn't trust them.
For such an item I would go with a trusted UK supplier.

Re: Temu Leisure Battery
I never use Temu but currently have a lithium battery made from Yinlong LTO cells from AliExpress, plus another using Fogstar cells with a JK BMS from AliExpress
What's the specs, amp hours etc and price of the Temu one?
