I haven't heard of those cells either. The supplier does show Sinopoly, and I know they are advertising 180AH cells at 12.7 lbs and basically the same form factor as the 160AH. My cells are the...

I've never heard of that cell manufacturer. I have heard you can get calb cells for $1.2/ah which is the same price. They have comparable specifications and there are others using them so they're a...
