Most brands, most models, including the LiFePO4 versions, are deeply discounted right now, through both vendors and direct.
It strikes me as odd and I'm curious if anyone has insights? |

It strikes as odd and I'm curious if anyone has insights? Because MOQ's from China are huge on those products, and the summer was a bit soft for sales in that category due to many competitors. Also shipping was extremely high this summer, so we loaded containers full full to try and amortize the shipping. It's excess inventory that's been pushed into the market. |

Philspel I didn't know that. I was going to speculate that there was a yuge improvement in battery technology, and manufacturers wanted to get rid of inventory before releasing the new ones to market. |

It's even on Amazon. Choose your brand based on the other threads, and you'll likely find they're having a major sale right now, virtually without exception. |

I have a project I am working on and it is time to start shopping batteries. |

Bluetti often has sales.
In February, March, May, July, September, and November. It's like shopping at Kohl's, wait a week for the 30% to 40% off coupon to show up. Sale price is the normal price. |

I have a project I am working on and it is time to start shopping batteries. I would be interested in some differentiating information as well. From what I have found there is a small consolidation of manufacturers that actually produce the cells and batteries. What I could find is to look at the specs of the models you are buying more so than the "brand". |
