Hey everyone! I'm based in Central Asia and recently set up solar panels (680W x 8) along with a Voltronic Axpert Ultra 11kW inverter. I'm currently looking into battery banks and have noticed some amazing deals on Alibaba, but I'm pretty new to buying from that site. Does anyone have recommendations for brands, reliable sellers, or general advice for purchasing battery banks online?

I recently got a quote for BYD battery cells—$1342 for 15kWh. I was looking at getting two, so that would be around $2684, but keep in mind that’s just for the batteries and doesn't include delivery costs. Just something to consider when budgeting!
I've done quite a bit of research and ended up buying 3 x 5kWh batteries from a seller on Alibaba. They shipped to my summer house in Spain, which is still being renovated, so I haven't been able to test them yet. They arrived partially charged, but since I haven't used them, I can't say whether I'd recommend that seller or not.
