I received an instant message from an Alibaba supplier asking if I would be interested in a 51.2v 280ah server rack battery for only $950. Not sure what the shipping would cost but this seems crazy cheap?

I wouldn't bite
Strip everything away but the cells and you're looking at $60 per cell.
I doubt you could find that kind of a deal for 280ah cells
What sounds crazy cheap is likely to be crazy expensive bait.

You can get 280Ah Battero from Gobel for $55 from China. But that does not include shipping etc
 
I’ve come to the same conclusion. Too good to be true. The case and hardware with BMS should be close to that price alone, without the cells. You can buy the cheapest 280ah cells for about $1300 delivered from China.
So the cheapest you should be able to build a comparable battery would be around $2200-2300
 
Yes, that’s definitely too good to be true.

This is the best I have found so far for the 280ah wall mount battery pack 14.33kwh (Check it out) -

 
$81.25/cell including delivery.
BMS, box, assembly included at no extra charge.
 
I’ll take a picture when I get back home next week.
Find your way back yet? Still interested in what that thing might look like internally. If you get a chance - too busy = no prob.

Might get a better price now. I had mine customized a little.

About $300/battery for shipping.

Edit: now $999, but without DC breaker and active balance, $900
@Danke Hi do you know the company Dora works for? Did you just paypal her and hopes they ship you the server rack battery? =)

A few have received batteries from her that I know of. No problems.

$900 ($950 for rack batteries with active balance) was the last price I know of, may be cheaper now.

Stackable ones are a little more, but not much.

I wired funds.
