Description
For many years, independent buyers had no practical channel for purchasing new CATL cells with clear, verifiable provenance. That changed in 2026, when CATL opened restricted business purchasing access to eligible mainland-Chinese companies.
Our partner factories and wholesale partners purchase brand-new Grade A CATL cells on our behalf. This controlled supply chain ensures that B-grade, used, reconditioned or rewrapped cells do not enter our CATL supply. It is similar to the change that made genuine new EVE cells accessible a few years earlier.
Read what changed with genuine new CATL cell sourcing in 2026.
Why verified CATL sourcing matters
- Genuine new Grade A CATL cell
- Controlled procurement through trusted business partners
- High-capacity 280Ah format for stationary energy storage
- Published technical data for professional system design
Suitable applications
The CATL 280Ah cell is suited to professionally engineered home energy storage, off-grid battery banks, commercial and industrial storage, UPS systems and other high-capacity LiFePO4 applications.
A complete battery requires correctly engineered compression, insulation, busbars, fusing, enclosure, temperature monitoring and a compatible BMS. Contact our team to discuss current availability and pricing.
