So I got my cells from Sun fun Kits last week I ordered beginning of September and it took about 80 or so days to arrive. I probably delayed it a bit because I wanted the flexible bus bars so maybe added a week or two.

It was a good transaction for the most part I called them probably 3 or 4 times and they always answered so good on the communication

since ordering though the price has probably dropped about $650.00 ? so looks like timing is tricky, but they were the cheapest at that time.

There are 8 boxes of cells 1 box with bus bars and separators. I got 48 of the fiberglass plates and 48 of the bus bars along with 3 of the longer diy bars which are probably too long but I'll see if I can make them work. Overall nice upgrade that was included at no extra cost?

These are with there own battery terminal that has a stud in a aluminum base, looks very good and strong nice coverage area for the bus bars. Also they are striaght no bending. A LOT better than the dual pole I got from 18650 store.

I have to say I really like what they are doing with the label giving you all the details on the cell so far the range has been between 318 and 323 ah so I'll try to keep the 16 cell banks as close to match as I can.

so I "sacrificed" one of the cells just to make sure there is no funny business going on, It seems sanded of QR codes are now common place. They way they have there terminals you really can't remove the cover. This a complete pia to do in case anyone is wondering.

Doesn't look sanded by slight color difference. I'm sure @Alkaline will have something to say about it?

overall I'm happy these are going to installed in a Tiny Home for a client and will be setup in a custom cabinet. 43KW will give them plenty of standby power along with 2000 watts of solar on the roof with the victron 3000 watt 48v multiplus 2 inverter.

Just FYI. Flexible buss bars are resistance welded in the area where it’s to be bolted. If you cut it beyond that area, it can delaminate and now it’s like stacking a lot of lugs except worse.

Looks good, get some paper towels and white vinegar see if that is some oxidation that is causing slight difference in background of the qr code and the rest of the cell. That being said the qr code looks real because it has the bumpy texture, you have a test report, and the edges of the cell look the same as the body of the cell.

Did they give you the green/yellow spreadsheet as well?
 
Ok price is just too good 10% off black friday?, ordered a 48 cell pallet of 304 with the high amp adapters, $5,600 shipped that's 116 a cell delivered(y)

I got 1/3 of my mason sepolos kits in, they look good so now for 3 more mason cases and 48 more cells. They should all arrive by Jan.

Sam, where did you get your sepolos BMS from? Also, I sent you a PM.
 
They came with the mason kits. Are you planning on building with a case? if so the mason is a good option, but if not then pace bms seems to be the way to go, SOK server rack batts use them. I think SFK sells them as well.
