Links to lifepo4 battery cells

[sparrowhawk1]

Wow that link also has a bunch of other great deals, there was a 135 amp hour battery for $31! I don't see the shipping fee though. How much did it cost to have yours shipped ? For me there's two big choices: do I spend more and get a name brand or take a higher risk for an unknown brand at a substantial savings. The second choice is plastic case or aluminum. But these are personal choices. I started this thread for people that are shopping (like myself) and intending on buying. I respectfully ask that we keep this thread streamlined to links to the batteries and actual testing of the batteries. Personal experience with purchased batteries is extremely appreciated. There are many other threads on Lifepo4 for discussions. Let's keep this thread to just the facts ma'am. Thank you. O P

Had a bit of bulge on two but the tested out fine and perfectly in-line with the other two cells. I asked what was the issue and the answer from Simon Lin (the rep) was some of the plastic cases had minor manufacturing flaws. I just put the on the ends.

If you click on the link, you can see the cost of per cell, with a 4 cell min. The total cost I believe was $631 delivered to my door in Oregon for a 4 pack of 200Ah Calb cells.

Yes the price per cell is clear. But they don't list the shipping price on your link.Thanks for putting in your shipping cost.

I've been tracking this eBay seller: grandvilleproducts

for six months or so

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?sid=grandvilleproducts

Always has one 4S set @100Ah for sale, one at a time, always the same price

Never gone below 100% satisfaction on eBay's feedback rating,

despite their NQAMB guarantee enforcement.

Anyone recognize the cell brand?

Marked Sinopoly on the narrow side. Normally black... could be fake or new models.

Found it, brand "Victpower"

@newhaul, you want to post your Ali link & seller contact details, were claiming genuine Sinopoly, delivered price comparison?

Not that I'm recommending buying from them, but

note the big advantage of an eBay seller, if they test out "not as described" your 100% refund is pretty much guaranteed, usually very fast, **and** they have to pay the return shipping.

But please only use this fact for good, no scamming the sellers even if they are scammers!

Yes ruixu's the one I meant.

Julia's blurb says

I am the owner of Sky Power International Enterprise Ltd., we are an authorized distributor and representative of Thunder Sky Winston Battery Limited, we sell Winston batteries at lowest price you can find in the market. PM me or email me info@skypowerintl.com if you are interested, we can save a lot of money for you!

Has anyone reported satisfactory transactions yet, with either?

I just received my batteries from JuliaWu.

I bought 4x 700ah cells. The shipping to Florida was $775.

The cells are serialed in sequential order. Total time from start to finish was 20 days.

No complaints.

[john61ct]

You seem to be repeating this "untruth" after clearly being informed otherwise

thus presumably purposefully trying to deceive wrt this issue. Why?

Julia is an entrepreneur, owns a company that resells Winston batteries.

In what alternative universe does that translate to her being "a factory rep" ?

That would mean she is an employee of Winston, which she clearly is not.

It also implies that she only sells brand new cells, and anything below Grade A would be clearly labeled as such.

Which may or may not be true.

In this market, absolutely anyone, including you and I can set ourselves up as Winston resellers.

That does not let us claim to "represent" Winston.

Now perhaps Winston has an official "authorized distributor" program, in which case there would be an official certificate, lookup service for verification etc.

I have asked, and not yet seen anything like that.

These are Winston yellow cells. They were $2800 for all four cells, plus additional shipping.

I was told they came directly from the factory, and what appears to be a date is 191219.

They look brand new.
