LiFePO4 battery build
I got my new cells in today and I am going to start putting them together after I sort out whether I am getting a new cell or not, as one has some slight damage. It is probably fine to use but betwee...

I'd be interested in what your total cost will be. You will have to add a BMS to the build. Last year I purchased a FEENCE 100AH LiFePo4 "drop-in" battery which has a built in BMS for $300 from Amazon. Today it is selling for $179 - $10 coupon + $40 delivery, total $209.
Here's a link to Amazon:

I'll have to figure out the US pricing here, hang on..
so, the cells were 134.00us each, so 536.US. my BMS was about 80.00US it's a 150 amp JBD smart BMS with Uart and Bluetooth (same one I used in the camper). I have had the BMS and a 23 bucks active balancer that I haven't decided if I am going to use. for quite a while now, I got scammed on an original order of cells so I went to an American distributer and paid a bit more than the original order was
ya the cheapest we can find drop ins in Canada is about 450 plus tax and shipping for drop in's but, I would go this way anyways as it is the same power as three 100amps but smaller and probably a bit lighter also.
