Reputable source for CALB LFP prismatic cells?

[magicbus]

That pretty much says it all. Considering my 1st LFP build and have no idea who's legit, & who's not. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Not looking for best deal or lowest price (necessarily!)... just someone selling the real article, high quality, in properly-matched batches.

I have talked to the distributor for CALB in Pomona CA. A friend bought some 80 Ahrs for an EV project and was very happy with the price and quality. They have stock and at the time I could have picked them up at their warehouse in Pomona which would have saved me freight.

I moved North two years ago but do drive to LA often enough that I might arrange a trip to pick some up once I get my needs dialed in.

Can you provide any more information about the distributor? Do they have a website?

As far as i can tell, they don't sell directly unless you are a large volume buyer, but I found a list of sellers on their site. For anyone else looking for US sources

here they are:

They also include a link to an Alibaba seller "Cali-battery" but the link seems to be broken. I would assume 'CALi' stands for 'China Aviation' (like the CA in CALB) and Li (as in lithium) so probably the CALB official store on Alibaba, but it appears to be gone.

Good list. I have dealt with four of them with success. Never bought batteries from them but spent over $1000 collectively for BMS's, contactors, and other miscellaneous EV And battery support items.
