I have been following the lithium discussion for a long time. Early on, it was pointed out to me that all cells are produced in China. But, I also leaened that all cells, although nominally of the same voltage, are not created equally. High-quality (and more expensive) batteries are constructed with each cell tested to ensure that the voltages are all the same which, it seems, is important. So, are the less expensive batteries constructed with balanced cells? I don't know. Sure, Panbo is testing but that means nothing because his tests are very short-term relative to the life of the battery. I remain suspicious of cheap products. There is always a reason.These batterries have been around close to this price point for several years and actually have a known good reputation. This company has sold a massive amount of these batteries over the last 3 or so years. There are other sellers of nearly identical batterries at the same price that have also sold a massive amount. Actually..this isnt a low end battery. Its a mid level battery. There are even cheaper batteries out there. If i was building a budget set up for an off grid bank i would definately use something like this.
But for a boat i personally consider bluetooth monitoring to see each cell, total capacity, warnings, etc a must. Of couse you can get the same battery posted here with those things for just a little more.
