FYI- there are a handful of these cases on eBay (open box or similar) for only $50-70, which is quite a bit less than purchasing direct. I got one for $40, don’t even have butteries yet but this does look pretty perfect!
Nice. If you guys are shipping surface (boat) often the shipping price won't change so even if you find a good deal elsewhere check if shipping is free otherwise it may still be more economical or close to it to buy from the cells' seller.
CONFIRMATION that These ARE INDEED EVE CELLS !

I had them check two QR Codes one 280Ah and one 50Ah
So the doubter's and disturbers can go for a hike and stay calm .
As
@ghostwriter66 pointed out, if it's like a buck to print out 1000 nice looking stickers, I'm not sure it'd take that much digging to print them out with actual legitimate numbers; ya just end up with 1000's of the
same legitimate numbers floating around.
When I lived in the Ukraine, I was also a naive Westerner and was shocked at the lengths that dubious sellers would go through to make things
look real. Very often there would even be cooperation with workers at the legitimate company; one person pays another (or gifts some cognac) to a worker for some stickers or whatever; then the stickers are actually 100% real even! Never underestimate the lengths people will go through in poor countries and assuming 1st world ethics when making these transactions is quite naive even if some think ignorance is bliss.
I bet others who live and deal with the 3rd world like
@fhorst can attest to this.
Living in Ukraine and now Asia I've become accustomed to investigate thoroughly, especially if a price is too cheap; I find out the level of deception going on and then decide if I'm OK with that. Last year I made a mistake; I bought a big bag of cat food that I knew was too cheap for an import and sure enough some of my cats died (so much for wishful thinking). I was already suspecting that the seller was using a "cloned" bag of the name brand product I was feeding my cats and just putting cheapo whatever inside. These things happen but Westerners aren't usually used to thinking like this when making transactions. There's a pretty sticker on the bag after all or even it's the same bag sold on the side from a factory worker! I was impressed when
@Will Prowse in his review of some Titanate cells realized the sticker might just be a fake AH rating;
Digging deeper about these cells from Xuba is not an attack on your honor that you need to want other possible buyers to "
take a hike"; the seller is not your best friend from high school you know.
@LukeVader 's question about what email you messaged when nobody else got a response I would say should be adjusted to "who gave you the email?"
And no, they aren't doing us a favor by selling to individuals; there is a global economic catastrophe happening right now and companies will make sales anyway they can. So let's please try to consider these things before assuming people are attacking you by critiquing this excellent find.
I'm quite
grateful for the find even if I'm not confident they are EVE cells; I'm still interested.
The benefit of a diverse community like this is we can work as a team to evaluate and set expectations appropriately. Please let's not discourage that think tank aspect as a tool here.
Thanks!
