IMO, Beware anything sold, said or recommended by Ruixu.
I would cancel and order 100ah freedom cells from Electric Car Parts Company.BLS had a special on which I stumbled. 8 x 150Ah delivered for $799 to california. Given the CV atrocity, they are slow to respond. And said they won’t process my order until 2/12. So easy for me to back out.
I like the deal for the capacity but the risk seems not worth saving a few $.
would you pull the plug?
I communicated with RJ Energy based on another recommendation (ghostwriter).
thank you very much,

Do you have any additional proof besides your experience? I'm honestly curious because I've opted to make an investment through BLS with calculated risks as mentioned above.
It's clear that BLS resells both used and new cells - They state new (or not) within their product offerings and the price points reflect this. (i.e. look at the price range of CALB cells. I'm sure there are multiple middle-men in the case of used cells, and someone could have slapped an ETC sticker on your cells somewhere down the line.
If an offering omits the word "new", than it's likely not and should be assumed as such. Reviews for cheaper cells acknowledge receipt of used cells.
What did your product listing specify?
Regarding my cells... they were manufactured in August. @Keith_PDX ordered the same and had them in-hand in October with positive feedback & testing. Here's another link from this message board with similar test results:

Cheap LiFePO4 from BLS
Tried to order 16 pieces of 3.2V 150Ah cells from BLS at AliExpress (source recommended on mobile-solarpower.com)...diysolarforum.com
Further hands-on experience and vendor verification of Grade-A cells in this thread:

Alibaba LiFePo4 batteries
Albaba has a number of batteries in the 300Ah range, and they're not at all expensive, https://t.ly/rB0Gn The listing indicates they include a BMS, and they seem an ideal match to the 24v PIP all in one solar charger/inverter...diysolarforum.com
All claims towards these 150ah cells are excellent. Given the manufacture date and quick availability for purchase by BLS, how would these be cycled 2000+ times or be considered industrial waste as you claim? They can be bought manufacturer-direct for less if you can satisfy the volume requirement. The vendor also appears to respond to serial number inquiries.
Sorry to hijack the thread... I was initially responding to @DW SD since he mentioned these cells.
I think further evidence is needed before claiming BLS is pure evil.
Only one person spare no effort to belittle BLS! I don't know why!!!
Anyway, thank you for your kindness.You don’t know why I want to warn other people about BLS? Losing 4900€ getting 36 end of life cells instead of new, is that a good reason for you?
Your cells perform well. What does that mean? Did you do any tests other than connecting your load and getting some power? Any measurement to know capacity loss in the first year? Because “seconds” may lose capacity very fast.
No, people are not idiots. Most of us pay for new cells and think they will get new cells for a good price, just like me. We do not expect (or believe!) to be cheated that much.
If someone reads this posts and still buys from BLS then I hope he will have good luck. Because luck is the only thing you can hope for with BLS.
And I am not the only one. Here is a screenshot from the last chat with BLS where I told him he cheats everyone. In a hurry he pasted the complaint of someone else in the answer:

It's interesting. I got a full version of chat from BLS.
Sorry, I really do not believe you.1. I'm not BLS. I'm just a user of BLS like many people here
I also doubt your word here...1. I'm not BLS. I'm just a user of BLS like many people here
2. I just asked BLS something and told the guys here some complete facts
3. I only express my opinion on what I already know, and I will not guess and judge
4. that's all.![]()
