Our take on the CATL 3.2V 280Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell

This is a single 3.2V 280Ah LiFePO4 prismatic cell from CATL, one of the world's largest battery makers. It is a raw building block for DIY home energy storage, off-grid solar banks and low-speed EV packs, not a finished battery. The stud terminal version ships with welded threaded studs so busbars and connector plates bolt straight on, avoiding the drilling and adapter hunting that flat factory terminals often require. Buyers rate it highly, and it competes on capacity and brand reputation against cells like EVE and REPT rather than on convenience features.

Pros
  • 280Ah capacity per cell keeps pack counts and wiring low
  • CATL is a top-volume manufacturer with a long track record
  • Welded threaded studs simplify busbar mounting
  • Prismatic LiFePO4 chemistry is stable and long-cycling
  • Strong buyer ratings across a large number of orders
Cons
  • Sold as a bare cell, so you supply busbars, BMS and compression
  • Heavy, and shipping a single cell is costly relative to its capacity
  • Cells need matching and top-balancing before assembly
  • No built-in management or protection electronics

Buyers rate the cell highly and mostly report it arriving with capacity close to its rating and studs intact.

What people mention
  • CapacityPraisedBuyers say measured capacity comes close to the 280Ah rating.
  • TerminalsPraisedThe welded studs are called out as a real convenience for bolting on busbars.
  • Cell matchingMixedSome buyers find cells arrive at different voltages and balance them before assembly.
  • Build qualityPraisedOwners describe the cells as solid and consistent across orders.

About the CATL 3.2V 280Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell

This is a CATL 3.2V 280Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cell. It is used as a building block for home energy storage, off-grid solar systems and low-speed vehicle battery packs.

This version has welded threaded stud terminals instead of the flat factory terminals. Busbars and connector plates can be bolted on directly, with no drilling or custom adapters. The default stud thread is M6, and other thread sizes are available on request.

The maximum discharge rate is 3C, which is a peak, short-duration rating of roughly 840A. Some CATL 280Ah documentation gives the continuous charge and discharge rating as closer to 1C (280A). The cycle life of about 5,000 cycles comes from the manufacturer's data card, which does not state the test conditions.

Questions and answers

Is this a complete battery?
No. It is a single 3.2V 280Ah LiFePO4 cell. You need a BMS, busbars and a case to build a working battery.
What is the difference between stud and flat terminals?
Stud terminals have welded threaded studs so busbars bolt directly on. Flat factory terminals vary in shape and may need adapters or drilling.
How many cells do I need for a 48V pack?
Sixteen cells in series give a nominal 48V pack at 280Ah. Fewer cells give lower voltage.
Do I need to balance the cells first?
Yes. Top-balance the cells before assembly, since they can arrive at slightly different voltages.
What chemistry is it?
LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate), which is more thermally stable and longer-cycling than many other lithium chemistries.
What is in the box?
A single cell with welded threaded studs. Busbars, nuts, a BMS and a compression frame are not included.
Where is the CATL 3.2V 280Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell cheapest?
At OneAndes, for $237.98, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the CATL 3.2V 280Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell?
