After reading here on DIY Solar forum the proper method of verifying condition and then assembling a 48vdc battery bank, I have ordered the following from "BATTERY FINDS". I selected them over the "18650 Battery Store" because they as well have a US based warehouse (City of Industry California) plus they offered free shipping, thus beating the pricing from the other suppliers. I am hoping these CATL units have as good a reputation as the EVE brand, we will see.
For our offgrid cabin:
16 units CATL 302Ah LiFePO4 plus JBD LiFePO4 6S~21S 200A Smart BMS
For our 1987 VW Westfalia house battery:
4 units CATL 173Ah LiFePO4 plus the JBD LiFePO4 S4 Smart BMS
Ordered on 3/7 received FedEx delivery info today for Monday the 11th, that is definitely a US warehouse type delivery schedule.
I will update once received and packaging & product have been inspected.
