I found theese LiFePO4 batteries on eBay

The price it too good, around $290 for 110 Ah.

Just wanted to check if anyone has any experience with these 'Power Bolt' batteries.

      It's a 3 video review, part 3 search youtube
      CHEAPEST 12v 100Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Battery - The TEARDOWN - What's inside is interesting!

      has 8 pouch cell batteries inside, each marked 57.??Ah (all the markings are different) with quality test stickers. Also have original battery maker's 60Ah markings.
      So 2 banks in series, of unmatched batteries (presumably manufacturer's rejects)

      In part 1 of the video testing, he got 55Ah before the battery cut out. He does advise that viewers have reported capacity up to 100Ah in their testing.

      So… what are they like? They appear to be made from battery seconds, with random variable quality. Roll a dice to see what AH capacity you get.

        Yes, I watched that video. It is 2 years old, I was wondering if someone has more recent experience.
        I may buy it, test the capacity and post a video of my own :)

          The price is too good. The review is still relevant because sales practices haven’t changed. They’re still selling seconds packaged up together.

    Did the price go up? It's about $350 now?

    I've had one and I sold it again because it didn't meet my needs. Standard discharge is 25A so couldn't power my air compressor for more than a few seconds at a time. I should have read the spec sheet more carefully. Can't comment on capacity because I didn't test it and haven't owned another 100Ah lithium battery to compare it to. I did get about 3 days worth of running my 25L fridge though.

      Thanks. I am use it to power my astro gear and laptop. I don't think it's going to draw more than 10A at any given time.

      Compared to this Adventure King's 120Ah is very good value then. It goes on special for $500. You pay more, but it is much more reliable, based on the YT reviews I have seen.
