Alibaba Battery. What's the Catch?

[CoolWill]

I have never bought anything from Alibaba, so I guess I'm missing something. While looking for att the Luyuan battery page, I came across this item: Assembled Battery

So what's the Catch? Is it like $1000 shipping or what?

I have noticed vendors list multiple variants for an item in one listing to show a low price. The $100 is likely for the 12V 100ah battery.
If you ask for a quote be sure to include DDP shipping.

100-304 ah and 12-48 volt are all $100. Major scam going on there!

On AliExpress the price will change based on options selected. Apparently not on Alibaba. At any rate I knew something was wacky.

Stay away from AliExpress for cells, you will get screwed.
Do a search for AliExpress here and thank me later


Luyan will be a MUCH better choice

They set a lowball price to generate quote requests and only then do you get the proper price, that advertised price never gets to the quote. Happens a lot on Alibaba even for commodities such as steel coil, the quote will be a normal price.
