Is price per kWh all that matters?

No. When looking for a LiFePO4 battery, price per kWh should probably not be the sole factor in deciding what to buy. You might also want to consider additional specs like charge current, continuous and peak discharge current, terminal type, size, weight, form factor. Internal heaters, communication protocols, etc. And those are just specs.

Quality is a lot harder to measure. Look for reviews, look for a teardown on YouTube to see the quality of the components inside.

You might value the warranty that a company offers. Just take it with a grain of salt.
