Its a battery that the cells are likely sourced in China (if not the entire unit). Which means:
- The 3 items of interest (cost, AH and cycles) are lied about.
Many/most 'offbrand' and even 'brandnameish' producers will often inflate the AH and/or the cycles using much less expensive cells to achieve a much less expensive price point for their products. (the same could be said of Solar panels where I've seen 40W panels being advertised as 400W!!)
- Due to the large ramp up in EV's LFP batteries (and factories) is on the rise.
The market is being flooded with products however questionable many of those products actual performance might be.
A quick look at even Amazon the price for 100AH of LFP is all over the map!
Sure while a set of 4 CATL LFP 280AH cells run ~$700 on Amazon, add a BMS and some busbars for less than a Battleborn many want the 'off the shelf' finished product.
