Brand new member here. Looking to do a simple solar power system for a camper van conversion, and the storage for that I am thinking 280ah because the cells look to be the best bang for buck. I will build my own battery out of cells. I have read through a lot of threads and it is getting a bit much, so just a few simple questions. I've come across Shenzhen Basen and Shenzhen Luyuan mentioned a lot for batteries, but also Xuba? I see somebody called Amy mentioned a lot also. Appears to be at Luyuan, but also at Xuba? Like I said...confused at this point. So...
1- Since this is a van project and not solar for my home, do I need to worry about getting matched cells? Or for the added price it is still just worth it anyway.
2- Is Luyuan still the "best deal" for a set of 4 matched 280ah lifepo4 cells? Reputable, reliable and price.
3- I am getting some used panels locally, but will need BMS and maybe 1000-1500w pure sine inverter. Any suggestions for these from Ali Express? I haven't really done research for those components on Ali, but if batteries are half price of domestic I figure most other stuff is probably half price as well.
4- I read a few threads that said production shut down again because of Covid. Anybody having problems getting stuff?
I am not really in a particular rush to get this stuff, so waiting 2-4 months for me is fine.
Thanks
Nik
