Off-Grid Bus Conversion
New here and in the ordering process for a solar system powering an RV/bus conversion. Batteries are going to be 48V and ~400Ah (depending on battery choice). Has anyone ordered from Great Power off Alibaba? I think I found the batteries Will covered in this video, and they're crazy cheap. I'm on the verge of ordering, but wanted to see if anyone chased these down to the same store and what experience they've had ordering through Alibaba from China. They even have some packaged/finished 48V units that are cheap. The seller was responsive to an email I sent last night, though didn't cover quite all the questions I asked.

Will's video: Lithium Battery Mystery: This 100Ah LiFePO4 Energy Density is Off the Charts
I started with LG Chem pouch cells, but found an issue with them after receiving them, so going to return them and looking for the next best option factoring in weight/space/cost. Calb's are just too bulky (and expensive at this point). I'll use 1/2" rubber in/under the base of however I structure/frame the batteries to address vibration issues. They're going to be isolated in the cargo bay area with larger computer fans, 1 intake / 1 exhaust, through the wall for ventilation.
Thanks!
