Can someone take a look at these prices and see if you can find the flaw in this? Shipped from overseas but still! Also check out the RJ45 port.

The flaw is simply that there is no way you are going to get brand new 12V 100Ah Renogy LiFePO₄ batteries for $150. Those batteries sell for 5x that price from Renogy.

All of the pictures in the Ebay ad seem to be from this Renogy battery listing:

You know the saying about something being too good to be true.

Are you sure you want to buy it on eBay? For $150 you might get some concrete in exchange. Too cheap LiFePO4 batteries are not worth the risk, let alone it looks like an outright scam.

Exactly what I thought. It is easy to put any picture in there. I looked and found the exact battery in a different ad it is in the $400 range. Buyer beware! Thanks for reply.

Agreed. Coming from there is no guarantee. Read too many posts on people getting ripped off. Thanks for the reply.
