12v 190ah lifepo4 from aliexpress

Has anyone purchased and received 4PCS NEW 3.2V 190Ah ? Will Prowse recommends them but I have not seen any actual review of them. Are they brand new grade A cells? Are the buss bars as advertised? Are the terminals and screws fit for purpose? The price is low enough to make me want to check...

I also followed in ghostwriter66 footsteps and purchase the same (4) 200ah lifepo4 cells for the same price which i ordered 2/19. Nikkie from Dongguan Lightning Energy Technology Co.,Ltd said they would be shipped next week. I also asked Nikkie if these were new cells and her reply was, Yes they are brand new cells

Rusty Can you send me a copy of your purchase so I buy the right one...I see two that are very similar.

I did a quick search on bls and came up with nothing. Is there a better way to search than the search bar?

 

[newbostonconst]

The cheaper ones are through Alibaba compare to Aliexpress...I think that is why the price difference.....more risk.

It is (4) 3.2V 200aH batteries with bus bar -- for $426 ..

what is she not understanding??

TOTALLY agree -- think of ALIEXPRESS as Ebay ... and Alibaba as someone selling something of the back of a truck ... LOL ... I always go through Alibaba if i can first ....

I found some info on the search bar just using BLS products, some were happy with the products, one guy said he got totally screwed. I decided I would go with Ghostwriter's recomendations; however, dealing with a China chat a and Alibaba is insane. BLS is also more expensive than the company I plan to purchase from. Good luck...

I was a little confused about the shipping but Nikkie told me it will be shipped to my address here in the US, which is the east coast for me. This is all the information that I have Flyfishing55

 

[Steve_S]

Alibaba / Aliexpress just lke Ebay / Amazon
Then there is DHGate & Banggood too

When comparing costs with cells things become apparent quite quickly.
12V/200AH = 4 cells. $426 USD delivered. 426 ÷ 200AH = 2.13 per AH.
12V/280AH = 4 cells. $583 USD delivered. 583 ÷ 280AH = 2.08 per AH.

In the process of completing the transaction, @ Ghostwriters suggested company. Thanks for your responses, all of which were very important in my decision process. Tim

Did anyone actually receive their batteries from Nikkie. I made a order but it never shipped. When I message Nikkie she has stopped responding.

 

[Flyfishing55]

It took awhile, but I did receive my 4 cells. Nikkie returned all my responses in a timely manner. Steve_S has had good luck with Amy at Xuba.
