Searched AliExpress and found 8-280AH cells for $358…560AH of batteries for probably $500…90 cents/AH. Today I searched again and found 8-310AH cells for $346. Add $84 for 2 BMS (200A is big enough) and $50 in cables… 620AH for $580…91 cents making them as cheap as lead/acid but probably 5X the life.
Probably fraud at that price. You will never receive them.
Even the 310 is a deception. The real spec on EVE and CATL is 302 or 304 but often test initially at 310 but it is not the rating.
AliExpress is a swap meet inside a dumpster fire. Easy to get burned on buying junk.
If you are not paying close to $100 per cell for these 280-310 they probably have issues.
