Maybe, but I think the premium charged by the main manufacturer's is unjustifiably high. Those battery boxes are relatively dumb: besides the cells, they just need some voltage and temperature sensors for monitoring, some power electronics for balancing, a microprocessor, and an enclosure with connectors. Unlike a grid-tied inverter, this is a really simple system, and there's no way a 500–700% price premium over the cells is reasonable.
