Why is that you have Sun fun kits total cost including shipping but everyone else excluded shipping? If you apply the same cost on all other vendors vendors than
18650 would be $133/ kw including shipping
batteryhookup would be $146/kw including shipping
Sunfun would be $122/kw including shipping
The rept 280 is 4900 for 48 cells shipped with regular bus bars so by your table it would be 4900 / 43kw = $113.9 KW
Sriko is a grade B seller so why do you not specify them that on your table. The rest of the vendors you have have test reports?

All the prices listed are totaled with shipping to 05255 zip code in the USA.
The cost per KWH is calculated with cost of the cells + shipping
This table and costs are all with flexible busbars. If they cost extra it is noted.
You have noted a new low price. I will update the new price. Thank you.

Ignore him he doesn't know basic math, he divided the cost of cells with the kw instead of (cost of cells + shipping ) / kw. SFK is the cheapest by far if you have the money to buy large quantity and can wait; simultaneously they are the most most expensive if you want small quantities and even charge a sneaky hazmat fee of $15.50.

My favorite right now is LiTime.com. (LiTime is the new name for Ampere Time)
The 24v 100ah is 2.5kWh. A pair is 5kWh for $1,028. (use the KLA6 to get 6% off lately. that will expire someday)
That's $206 per kWh.
I'm a 24v system right now but aim to be 48v in the future.

Sometimes there is a box you have to check to get the coupon applied. If the box is unchecked... no discount.
deals / prices are location specific. Stuff changes based on if you're in rich neighborhood or poor one too.
It's getting more and more common online.
Dentists did it first & worst as far as I know, sometimes 10x the price in rich neighborhoods, same type of work

Yeah. I’ve seen those but none were present for me.
There was no visible box. Perhaps he had a special code.
This doesn’t seem dental related either, however, my location is not upstate NY.

Interesting. I don't get that. I've been a 'Prime' member for over a decade.
Maybe it is a South Dakota restriction.
OR...
Maybe you are 'Following' LiTime via the button on their US store.
OR...
maybe something else.
I tried that promo code: 591A3XHJ40OV but nothing.
I just started 'Following' so maybe it takes time.
I get the same results via the Amazon app or a Chrome browser.
At this point, I'm just curious. I've compared Amazon prices via friends across the US in the past and have NEVER saw any price differences. This could be a first.
