Lifepo4 deals november 2023

Normal price is much higher

 
You know my thoughts on the cells you listed. I can’t get enough of em ?
But imagine that rhino behind the seat of your truck!!!
... Could get ~18.5Kwh for ~$2k...

Never mind, I found it here. They have number of these listed on their store but only this one has the discount if you buy 4.

Ordered 4 instead of building using B cells. This is more expensive but I have a warranty and possible return if I need to.

Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like they updated the pricing today.. I thought it may have been a mistake on their part with the pricing/discount.. Hope they follow through and don't cancel on you..

Yeah, I just saw that. I went to see if the HOLIDAYSAVE20 coupon would stack and maybe order a few more. We'll see what happens. I haven't received a cancellation yet. 4 units for a little over 20 kWh for $3,396 isn't bad.

Received shipping confirmation today, should be here within a week. Looking forward to completing my off grid solar shed. $849 per battery makes my day.

Very nice! When I looked earlier, they took all of their server rack batts off of ebay.. :)
 
It appears that many vendors were NOT PREPARED for the demand and had lower expectations. I have been in touch with a couple of suppliers and they got "whomped" as one put it. So do not be put out if what you order is backordered and you have to wait for it. Also be aware that this is also an opportune time for scammers to play games so act accordingly.
 
Just found this Black Friday deal:

$399 SOK 12v 100Ah with Bluetooth and heater:


Now I have a high opinion of this seller and they also have a good reputation on this forum. But either this is an extremely good deal or there’s a catch. Maybe old stock?

Even if old stock, this is a screaming deal! It’s probably going away on Monday or when they sell out.

:::
Edit: I found the catch, only good for 12v use, not to be used in series without an external balancer (which is a good idea no matter what batteries you put into series):

  • Notice: Can only be used on 12v systems, cannot be connected for 24/36/48 volt configurations without a balance management system.
I’m not super familiar with SOK batteries, so I don’t know if this restriction is coming across all their batteries or not.

I did see your favorite powerurus, their 12V 200Ah non heating is down to $547.

Well I’m glad I already bought it because I’ve already spent enough money this season!

That’sa very good deal, even better than the SOK I just linked. Only difference is no self heat function or easy way to replace the BMS.

Looks like Current Connected have it (BT plus heater) for $20 more:
 
Batteryhookup has new 105Ah EVE cells for $40. LF280K V3 cells for $115.

Perhaps next year will be the year to buy raw cells and DIY my own battery. If the news is correct, then those 105Ah cells might go for $20 on Black Friday next year.

These CALB 180Ah plastic cased ones look interesting for mobile applications:
