    I’ve yet to find USA made. But here’s what I know.

    1st one is out of Georgia, USA. If you sign up for email they will let you know when sales happen. I’ve only ordered cylindrical. I missed a 50% off sale on cylindrical the other day because I decided to go LFP cylindrical but haven’t made it around to buying any yet.

    2nd is where I bought my 280ah prismatics direct from China.

    3rd has good info and where you catch Amy sometimes. She is the 2nd link. Sometimes people organize a group buy to help with costs.

    When I bought from China (awhile back) it was the best deal at the time but more important the reseller is solid (Amy) and came highly recommend from the forums. At the end of the day I wanted cells in good condition and no funny business. If you talk to them they will work with you but they are limited to what they can do. Don’t waste their time. Keep in mind the time zone and language issue. I’m not sure where things are at now since all the new laws as I bought a shit ton before “The War On Green Energy”.
