whats your budget??

As all cells come at a price, just some cost less.

Then nothing will last if the charging/maintance system is not up to the cell manufacture requirements.

Quality cells come with quality management system required, pointless having one and not the other.

The prices here seem reasonable and they may sell individual cell as I know they use them in warrenty. The shipping to where you are may make it not work. They are built by BBI.

We have the budget of about 2-3 thousand or 300 per piece. We have a pl60 plasmatronics solar controller and 4 130 watt solar panels.

Are you hell bent on 2v cells, as i think you could do better with 6v cells for $$$, ok we all want 2v cells, but for value you perhaps need to look outside the square.

For example you could purchase these and double your capacity for less money, you would use 2 x 6v = 12v in series, and 2 x 12v in parallel to give 12v at 850Ah bank (4 x cells), or even bigger if you wanted.

If you shop around you will find them at a little better price, although your profile dont say where you are located, so unable to help with a recommendation.
