Wondering about this one for my camper.

What do the experts say?

Those will work but there's a lot of things you need to work through to use them - charging, BMS, etc. Check on the shipping costs, it's usually way high for lithium batteries.

P.S. You know you'll need four of those, right?

Winston makes excellent cells.

Shipping costs have been going through the roof.

I've heard good reports on these and they ship out of Salt Lake City. They're 100ah though..

Electric Car Parts stocks batteries locally but you'll still need to plan on at least $150 for shipping, at least that is what I paid when I ordered from them. They also don't show shipping on the invoice when you purchase online, it shows up later. Surprise!

ECPC is IMO not to be trusted with warranty issues. One man show, if it's too big a hit he walks away.

For longevity, I'd only consider cells from Winston, CALB, GBS, Sinopoly and A123 (now Lithium Werks / Valence / Super B)

Note no maker at all is listed for those. Maybe Jiangsu Frey?

$150 is actually pretty cheap for shipping a lithium bank domestically.

$250-400 is more the norm.

My statement about shipping costs increasing was wrt self-importing from China, a year ago was not much more than the domestic cost.

In the last 6-8 months seen doubling even tripling for small orders under a pallet's worth.
