What batteries are people using that have the EG4 6000XP?

The non DIY batteries on offer seem somewhat expensive considering how inexpensive the cells and a BMS are from China. I'm wondering what I'm missing about the batteries on offer from the various manufacturers that could justify their markup.

Eg4 powerpro is not that much more than DIY.

Markup: cost of avoiding getting scammed by the wild west on alibaba.

The latest EVE MB30 or MB31 are going for $73 each. 16 * 73 = 1168 for 3 times the capacity of the 100ah units selling for more than that. Admittedly, the case, BMS, wiring, etc adds up but 3 times is a bit excessive in my estimation.

Warranty and technical support add significant cost.

Where I am there is no such thing as a warranty because it costs too much to use it. Besides, selling 100ah batteries when 300ah are available is selling old stock.
