Hi. All new to this . Lookong at purchasing lifepo4 batteries but not sure on what. I have read that 320 batteries seem to bloat and that 280 is the the safe way to go. Please could advise from your experience if I'm incorrect
Many thanks
 
Generally speaking, smaller cells are less susceptible to bloating. A lot of that depends on the quality of the cells to start with though, and the risk can be mitigated by buying good cells through a reputable vendor.
 
there is no such thing as 320AH cells.

there are :

CATL 304AH
EVE 302AH

usually the ones advertising 320 cells i would avoid like the plague

the 280K and eve 302 cells are in the same case and seem to bulge equally
CATL seem to bulge a bit more when full, presumably because a thinner cell casing is used
