To make sure you get the proper connectors, why else?

Guys, every chemistry of lithium battery (lifepo4, li-ion, lto, etc) are available in 1 to 10 KW modules at less than $100 a kilowatt hour most of them test between 70 to 99% of the rated capacity mostly removed from electric vehicles anyways we repurpose them into storage for our equipment you just need a 48 volt BMS to balance the cells and provide low temperature and low voltage protection.

Yeah they break the bank. 2) low voltage compared to other chemistries, which means _more_ cost 3) poor efficiency.. You put in 100 watts, you only get 80 watts out. All of this is from listening to Will Prowse.. He has an excellent set of tubes on them... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoj6RxIAQq8kmJme-5dnN0Q On 2/12/20 5:33 PM, Steve Jones wrote: these they say are good for subzero charging, thats what appeals to me and that the subzero doesnt affect discharge rate On Wed, Feb 12, 2020 at 6:39 PM Robert Andrews <i...@avantwireless.com> wrote: Lithiums degrade with temps over 130 degrees F ( depending upon chemistry and if you attempt to charge them below freezing. Failure can result from trying to charge below freezing. Between those extremes they do pretty well. The below freezing is a deal breaker for outside solar. There are manufacturers ( BattleBorn + others ) that are coming out with heaters to get around that.
