I don`t see the REPT cells on this list. Sold on alibabba.
Those look exactly like my Higee 100Ah cells I bought from Shenzen Luyuan last year. They tested well and have been going great in a 24s bank for an electric vehicleSo looks like my cells are Higee cells, though they are squattier and chunkier than the image. Is that a correct presumption? Bought from Ninthcit. More precisely, the 48173170 series
Going off qr and vent orientation in reference to grey terminal

Do you have more info / any way to verify that these companies are in fact manufacturers, I have not heard of them (which doesnt mean much on its own). 95% of cell 'brands' are some second or third or fourth layer of reseller or exporter or rebrand slapping their name on something.I haven't seen Shenzhen Topband Battery Co., Ltd. Mentioned yet. They make the 25ah blue cells that BH has been unloading.

This list is meant to only be actual manufacturers of raw cells, but it is slowly growing as I learn of new companies, so if either of you have verifiable/corroborated info about either of these companies, and hopefully a manufacturer datasheet for one of the cells they sell, post it here or PM me and I'll see about adding them to the list.
Thanks for the collaboration/input!
This post is specifically about LiFePO4 manufacturers. Not sellers, not assemblers of packs or complete batteries. Just manufacturers of the cells themselves. It does not appear at first glance that Narada meets this qualification.there is also naradapower, which was founded in 1994, the brand is Narada. they even have the warehouse in USA. their prismatic LFP cells are with aluminum cases. 50Ah, 80Ah, 100Ah, 105Ah, 125Ah. their NMC cells is 42Ah. en.naradapower.com
REPT does look to be a legit and fairly new (<5 year old) manufacturer. Topband I am not sure about. Their website strongly implies they manufacture things, including raw cells, but then I've been trying to vet this stuff long enough to have seen some pretty slick websites with factory assembly line photos, certifications, company histories, board of directors bios, etc, that ended up just being grey market resellers masquerading as manufacturers, which makes me fairly skeptical/cautious/cynical. You may well be right that they are a manufacturer of raw cells. Usually I like a couple pieces of corroborating data apart from the company themselves, and so far I can't find anything about them that doesn't originate from them. I am going to see if I can do a little more digging, and I am also reaching out to them for a datasheet and a couple other q'sShenzhen Topband Lithium Battery Co. LTD.

They make other stuff as well, but they do seem to actually manufacture their own cells. It appears they make four cell lines, a 100ah, 20ah, 25ah, and a 30ah. In this case it's TopBands cells that are relabeled as other brands, I've seen them under Navitas, and in custom, unlabeled packaging.

Thank you for the reply, and for contributing to this discussion. Do you have a datasheet for a Narada cell that you can share? What is your opinion of them?Narada produces their own LFP cells, they are like BYD, their cells are supplied only to their own projects all over the world. Their solutions and batteries are more famous worldwide. Now they begin to supply their cells for their clients for customize their own batteries.
We provide LFP cells to our clients in automotive and energy storage application. Narada is one of the suppliers. That’s how I know. Just for your information if you think it is helpful for your list.
I'm doing some more digging as well. Battery Hookup was selling the green Navitas 25ah cells, I was told that those were manufactured by TopBand, but when I go to Navitas's website, they claim that they manufacture them themselves.REPT does look to be a legit and fairly new (<5 year old) manufacturer.

Maybe, but I think I am maybe not being clear enough that the bar for inclusion in this list is high, the original purpose of the post was specifically to try to separate the actual manufacturers from the rebrands and such, as such the bar of evidence is high, because the original intent is to separate the actual manufacturers from the dozens of companies that misleadingly call themselves manufacturers. My learned skepticism with this market leads me to give very little weight to whether a brand says they manufacture their own cells or not, without corroborating evidence, that on its own is barely more meaningful than whether they say they are Grade A or not.Also, it seems that Navitas is, in fact, manufacturing their own cells now. Maybe a new add to the list.
Any idea what the rear right cell in the background is with the QR code on the end?A couple pictures that might be helpful for those trying to differentiate between large form factor aluminum prismatics
First, here is a side by side birds eye comparison (Lishen, EVE, ETC) I spliced together, not to scale necessarily:

Second Comparison (CATL, ETC, EVE) was provided by Heiwei Dao with Shenzhen Senberry:

I tried buying from eve directly before but communication was very difficult.
EVE EVE Energy Co., Ltd
EVE has offical online store. Preferential price, faster timeliness, more guarantee.
I would like to share the website address to you if you are interested.(DM me)
The company name is THUNDER SKY WINSTON BATTERY INCORPORATION COMPANY LIMITED
I suspect this thread has been targetted by spam or scam bots of sorts?THUNDER SKY was founded in 1998 by the founders who created the WINSTON under his own name later on. In 2017, the two brands integrated as one called THUNDER SKY WINSTON BATTERY.
The AI is trying to learn, lol.I suspect this thread has been targetted by spam or scam bots of sorts?
