PREP Great deal on Lifepo4 batteries ($90)

[hiwall]

Walmart has Lifepo4 batteries for $90 each with free shipping. I think that is a screaming deal.

Cheap enough to be too good to be true. No reflection on you.

Sold by a seller with no reviews. The battery has reviews, but not the seller. Hmm.

Caution, just like bw said.

Only Litime battery on Walmart now is a 50ah for $179.00.

I had ordered and received 4 of these after Christmas (they were on sale for $239). My sealed lead acid batteries were getting tired so I got 4 of these to replace the 8 lead ones. I still haven't got around to swapping them out. Now I ordered 4 more at this new cheap price. Should be here by the end of the week. Once I get these I'll hook all 8 up and swap out my lead ones. I couldn't resist the cheap price.

Just looked and the price is now back up to $252 each.

Hopefully they'll stumble and put these on such a good sale again soon.

Great catch!

I must be missing something. $90 for 100 Ah? Can get 4-550 Ah in lead acid for $90.

That seller has all kinds of stuff - take a look at their other offerings. Feels like they sell salvage stuff. Could be they had a lot of these batteries that they wanted to get rid of fast.

Seller has good reviews. And I had purchased some before from them.

I just made 4 new 24v batteries with JK BMS, for a total of 1120AH @ 24V.

THE 280AH EVE cells are $95 at 18650batterystore.com. they buy grade A directly from EVE.

Make your own and you know what's in them.....
Plus the BMS are bluetooth, so I can sit here and see every cell, and control the batteries completely.
Here a picture of one battery readout (I just sceenshot this off my tablet):

Here's a picture of two of the batteries in a cooler. That's 13440 watts. I have two coolers like this.

I would be interested to learn if you actually got those 4 ordered into your possession!
If not, what excuse did Walmart use?

They weren't sold by Wal-mart. They were a 3rd party seller using the wal-mart website. Read post 10.

They have apparently been shipped. I expect no issues.

I hope the deal turns out as good as it seemed!

And, that I can find one just as good, later.
