Anyone order a pallet of cells from EVE?

[sunsurfer]

I'm looking for 96 cells to make 6 packs (48v). I'm hoping for either 304ah or 280ah cells. Anyone ever order a pallet direct from EVE? I'm open to other options. I was going to order 2 racks(10 batts) of SOK 48v'ers but am thinking about building my own packs instead.

I believe that you have to buy a shipping container full.
To be able to buy directly from EVE.

I found building 16 cells into two 8S batteries very time consuming.

Everything from drilling 1/4” copper flat and cutting it to busbar to match my cells width, to trying to find a case for 8S 280 ah cells which didn’t exist to building my own, and then securing them to the floor was extremely time consuming. Even the second time around, would be quicker but still slow.

I’d hate to do six times the work. At best, that would be days; at worst weeks,

All depends on times and needs.

I am thinking of two 16S battery packs for a project and am heavily leaning towards some pre-built battery pack.

It takes me about an hour to build a 16s battery.
The cells come with bus bars. No need to fabricate them.

Cells when they found out they're at tim's house.

At some prices I am seeing if I just buy cells stateside, I can get a 90KWH (DIY) vs 50KWH (SOK).
