Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, so nice to meet you all
I'd like to build a small LiFePo4 pack for my campervan. The main purpose is to learn about all the components as practice for a bigger system (next campervan). I don't plan on running the fridge from the battery, so only some lights and maybe charge a macbook or drone batteries. Therefore I'm looking for something cheap, like a 12V 10-50Ah battery.
I'm living in the Netherlands and stumbled upon these cells:
Do you have any recommendations on a BMS for them? Preferably cheap but sufficient (Aliexpress?).
Or cheaper cells of decent quality from Alibaba? Preferably with EU warehouse? 100Ah is also fine if they are cheap.
I was also looking at the Alibaba sellers (Jenny Wu Docan), but the 280-300Ah cells seem to be the popular choice and with the high shipping costs included it will be > 300 eur, which is more than I'm willing to spend on this van's battery.
Thanks in advance!

Eve LF32 Prismatic 32Ah - LiFePO4 - 3.2V B-grade - Prismatisch - LiFePO4 - Oplaadbare batterijen | NKON
B grade: damage to wrap possible, cells not matched, not advised for EV but fine for ESS projects.
