Index of Lifepo4 Prismatic Manufacturers.
It is partial, imperfect, and evolving. If you see errors, have additions, or have questions/comments, comment below.
Parameters for being included: (1) LFP or close cousin such as LYP (2) an actual manufacturer (3) offer at least one prismatic cell between 20-500 Ah. Also note there is a high bar of evidence for being included on the list, its common practice for Chinese companies/brands/resellers to misrepresent themselves as manufacturers, a baseline assumption of skepticism is reasonable.
Plastic Case Prismatic Cells
Note: It is my understanding that all of the plastic cased cell manufacturers descend from Thundersky, A company founded in 1998 that splintered (with a fair bit of drama) around 2007.
Aluminum Case Prismatic Cells

**Many of these manufacturers are not 'consumer facing,' and do not sell cells through retail channels.

I have long felt that our depth and breadth of knowledge of the companies that manufacture lifepo4 raw cells is at best extremely limited. We quite frequently mistake manufacturers, brands, and resellers, and often brands and resellers actively try to misrepresent themselves. I'm used to markets where, with some research, its possible to learn about the reputations of the companies involved, quality of the products, what sets them apart or what they specialize in, and the histories of the companies/brands. I have not found this to be the case with lifepo4 raw cells (particularly with 'blue aluminum' cells).
As a small first step in that direction. I would like to create a sort of index of lifepo4 prismatic manufacturers. My knowledge is limited, but I will start with what I know, and hopefully we can build from there, if you are aware of a manufacturer I missed, or have a brand you want investigated, mention it in the comments (preferably with a link, and a picture of the cell).
