Cell prices coming down

Wouldn't be surprised if Luyuan is doing the packing/warehousing for them. This has me wondering.... the potential for a US warehouse for Luyuan where they ship out of the SFK warehouse? I think many of these shops have some type of deal going where they share warehouses on overseas/us.

Now to stir up the pot even further, you guys need to see this thread: Docan Real Grade A cells 280K with test report for $132.00 delivered & shipped from the US warehouse BUT... there is a catch: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/docan-power-us-warehouse-lf280k-review.65429/

Don’t think SFK has much overhead Wearhouse space, just my assumption I have no facts to back it up.

They don't, they were busting at the seams when I visited them last year most of the space is occupied by a remodeling company, I think they have a small part of the building.

Docan/lithicore are in a much bigger facility and nicer with a huge warehouse, at least they are now, previously they were on goar rd and it was just pretty ghetto compared to what they have now.

I would say Docan/Lithicore does 10-20x the amount of business SFK does. I need to stop by 18650batterystore they seem to have a big facility as well.

I will say SFK has a nice trailer setup and were helpful but it looks to be a 3-4 man operation; that being said, clearly Docan & 18650 are the big dogs in the lithium game state side.
 
Hope you don't mind me adding my new price for EVE 3.2V 280Ah with regular terminals. Quote: 88$ per pcs. shipping cost for 16 pcs is 268$ by sea+Fedex delivery, customs and tax paid. Door to door delivery. so total amount for 16 pcs is 88* 16+ 268 = 1676$ all inclusive to your door plus 5.5*16= 88$ (double square head terminals with bolts, nuts and expanding double drilled bus bars) so 1676+88=1764

So $1,764.00 delivered to Texas

This sounds to good to be true.
Where are you planning to order from?

I texted her but it may be a while now for her to respond. I asked for current images but she did say before that these were the new cells. I'll let you know soon.
 
Cheapest Real Grade A 280 I have seen is $115 from any where in the world, that is before shipping costs, duties. Basically this is a $140-$155 dollar cell by the time you get it.

I would be very cautious if its priced lower, you don't want to end up with this:

Again, ask for a very clear image, that includes the qr code
From the go to gobelpower.com and enter the numbers and you should know.
The octagon cell have only been around for about 4 months, so any production before that, and they are faked
