Where to order SOK cells and bms?

Does anyone know if you can order the exact cells and bms for the SOK 12v 206ah battery. I have a spare steel case and want to order the cells and bms to install myself.
 
Wow I just assumed if I needed either I could order from currentconnected.
I assumed to but don’t see either listed on their site. I don’t really mind using a different BMS but not sure if different cells will fit in the steel case.
 
We have about 30 of the 100ah cells that have been pulled from various 12v and 48v packs, the collection has been building up over the last year and a half. Since the failure rate on 48v is extremely low and we fix the minor issues in the field, we keep our returns pile practically nonexistent.

I'm not sure the exact condition of each cell and I don't really have time to go through and capacity test them, hence why I haven't listed them on the savings shack...if you are looking for a few please let me know.

In the future, we will have brand new cells available on our website. I plan to have some reallocated from assembly, re-packaged and shipped to us instead. The advantage to this is we are leveraging our established supply chain versus trying to get sloppy seconds from someone else's production.

The cells are Ganfeng model A09, 100ah, 206ah and 280ah - the cyclic rating is 4000 cycles @1c/1c/100%DOD. If you are shopping elsewhere, be careful because GFB makes another model that is only 1000 cycle rated - some of the cheap batteries on Amazon use these but still put the 4000 cycle spec on them, because often times the companies don't exist long enough to get caught in this lie. I can't remember the model right now, unfortunately.

If you already own the SOK battery, and want to purchase BMSs out of warranty - we have a limited supply of spare BMSs available for $200/each; the replacements do not include all of the wiring harnesses, such as the board-to-board ribbon cables as well as the IO connector board as they are meant to re-use those components.
 
Thanks for the amazing support as always @HighTechLab

I plan on swapping my eg4 12v to 48v and want bms that'll work with the existing SOKs I have so this is great. Now just need the time to pull them out and open them up

Dexter is beyond cautious in regards to salvaged cells. The last thing he wants is to pass on a bad cell and end up with an irate customer.

If you're willing to take a chance and accept there's no guarantee I'd recommend taking the chance.
He warned me multiple times that I'm taking a chance and there would be no recourse if any of the cells were bad.
Memo Product Is Sold As is - No Warranty - No Refunds - Buyer Assumes All Risk & Liability.
I bought 16 of the SOK 206s and all were like new and full capacity.
Previously I purchased 16 Lishen 200s and had the same experience
I'd buy more but I'm saving up for a new inverter and more panels, guess who I'll buy them from
