Default Re: Alibaba Lifepo4 Lithium 48v 100ah Conversion

FWIW...

Lots of Naysayers out there bagging on Alibaba. Remember...ALL the batteries we are buying come from elsewhere. Going direct to the source is just a way to cut out the 2 or 3 middlemen stepping on the price. I work with vendors through Alibaba often. You have to know exactly what you need and how to ask for it but if you do, theres no reason to avoid buying direct. I do suggest using Paypal as a payment method as they will back you if something goes south, although I've never had it happen with China.

Just be sure you know what you are getting but go for it. As far as the particular cells the OP is looking at, no way 100a is enough for a cart. The other thread mentioned lists a pack that would handle 275a continuous which is much better. I cant speak for a DC setup, but my Navitas never pulls more than 275a for more than a few seconds.
