I'm planning a new hybrid system, and I'm going to build the battery bank slowly over time. For that reason, I'm going to start with rack batteries with on-board BMS (even though I may one day get into DIYing 3.2v's together and adding a BMS).
I've found some 200Ah batteries from Shenzhen Yabo (YaBo Power Technology Company). The site says they're a manufacturer, although they're not listed in the Index of LiFePO4 prismatic manufacturers here. The FOB price is low (about $100/kWh) for a rack battery, but not out of range (no huge red flags based on the low price). It's an internal cell balancing battery, so I do need to decide if I'm ok with that... and I'm going to see if I can get just a couple of them so I can practice building out my parallel bank. So - although I'm not "all chips in" on this battery, I certainly don't want to throw away money either.
I searched the forums for Yabo, and there's not anything I could find. Does anyone have direct experience with this manufacturer?
