According to the feedback they're all right. Delivery is very quick as well, but that won't keep the lights on!! Anyone fancy being the guinea pig?

I'm more interested if they are the ones that set on fire,

Youtuber i watched the other night did a test on a 100Ah but different make .only gave out 70Ahs

 

[chaser]

Just been wasting a couple of hours and looking through temu and can't believe what they are selling now, cylinder heads for BMW and land rovers and loads of others plus steering components for almost any motor, do people really buy these sort of things from temu?

There is a buyer segment for which cheap trumps any other consideration - occasionally even the need.

More worrying how many get reboxed/badges..fake trainers is one thing fake brake and steering components don't bear thinking about

They have turbos and cambelts for most things, high end motors as well, just unbelievable, egr valves , oil and all sorts.
I would imagine you would be more worried about a temu cambelts than leaving the original on.
I'm a big fan of temu but this stuff is just unbelievable.

 

[oldiesontour]

As a decent BMS is circa £50 I suspect the cells will be well below stated capacity and BMS not upto the job..and I built my own 320ah(2) from cells and BMS (s) via Ali express so not anti but cautious..you can't get the cells from A E for that price.A £ per ah is possible with circa 300ah and a decent BMS

I wouldn't risk it but as a lot of reputable manufacturers have components made in China that some find there way out of the back door

Or possibly a pain in the @rse.

As a decent BMS is circa £50

The bill of materials (BOM) is probably a fifth of that in China. For instance the Texas Instruments bq76920 BMS chip is only 30p when ordered in batches of 1000.
The PCB is less than £1. Mosfets such as the Nexperia PSMN1R8-40YLC can be had for 60p each and probably need 8 so £5. Plus a bunch of jellybeans.

There really isn't that much in a BMS now we have dedicated chips to handle the control.

Be more worried how many dodgy repairs use these things then sell on a motor to an unaware buyer

And here's a 300ah for £213

Don't tell WESTY66 he will be looking at going up to 2000 Ah

 

[daveandsan]

Personally i wouldn’t touch Temu with a barge pole.

 

[chaser]

Temu don't make these things though, they are no different than Amazon or eBay, they only sell them

 

[eddie]

So much of what we buy is made in China nowadays anyway

I bought a cheap nail gun from Temu, my reasoning was I'm 64 and never needed a nail gun before, I needed one for a specific job, probably never need one again.

I bought one for the cost of hiring one for a couple days hire

It arrived in a decent box within a few days of ordering it.

It came with two Lithium battery packs that looked immediately like my Makita Lithium batteries, checked and they are identical, popped one into a Makita tool, perfect fit and worked, tried a Makita battery in my Temu nail gun, again perfect.

So result one, two more Makita'esq batteries and another charger.

Then Googled lens'd the nail gun, it's either from the same manufacturer, or, someone has gone to a lot of effort to "clone" a Makita nail gun, but never mentioned, hinted or inferred it's a clone in the advertising.

Works faultlessly cost me £70 delivered.

What amazes me most is I'm 64 and never needed a nail gun, and bought one for a project, but, how did I ever live with out one?

Virtually every job I'm given by Mrs VB I'm thinking "I could fix that with my nail gun!"

So Temu can be good

Fiat and Ford have clearly been using Temu for quite a few years

And another buying option that's too good to be true?

Can't get that one for some reason.

Don't worry your wife isn't reading this so you can tell the truth

 

[Barti Ddu]

The price of lithium batteries continues to fall.

I purchased a 100ah DC House (rebadged Ecoworthy) last year for £160 delivered from Amazon, so if we're now hitting the £100 mark I wouldn't be that surprised.

 

[Cush]

Is Temu banned in USA? If so it will be unfortunate we won’t see Will Prowse do a year down and evaluation anytime soon

Two for a £101.78 Chas.

[rod_vw]

At the other end of the scale I am in the process of making up a special wiring looms for VW Crafter / MAN TGE swivel seats. I priced the correct male & female seventeen way connector shells (no connectors with these) from VW and they were over £20 per pair!! Then of course I needed the correct (three versions) connectors to complete the job.
I sourced two pairs of these shells complete with all connectors for less than £16 delivered from AliExpress. They even have the VW part numbers molded into them. And yes they are a perfect fit.
It's a no brainer, just shop around Temu, AliExpress etc. and keep an eye on quality.

 

[Carpmart]

Will has torn one down and tested it… not sure I’d want these in the Motorhome!

 

[Bertilak]

I believe China can make anything at any price-point / quality you want; and are prepared to pay for.
There are plenty even on MHF who rave about their Chinese cars... they will have Chinese brakes in them! We don't hear about e-MGs blowing up or crashing.

Unfortunately they broke into the market with ultimate cheap, with reliability to match. But those 100s of 1000s Chinese engineering students the west has trained are getting stuck in, and some of the stuff isn't bad. Of course they copy what already sells well, so would you.
They do have "I can improve on that, (even if it's not worthwhile)" engineering nuts (a la BMW); that's how they are driving the massive speed of development, along with the quantities and low costs to make a profit off a product that will be obsolete in 6 months.
