I like the UnigyII or the Trojan AGMs, just started a set of Firefly AGM. going to LiFePO is very expensive. I have usually had better than 4 years on AGM, Are they overcharging? Undercharging? Do they have auto gen start? For Li-Ion I have some good experience with Kilovault by AltE it is a

This is the main problem with a battery that relies on the electronics inside to function. You have added another failure mode to a very basic and reliable battery. The manufacturer has to be in business for us to spend 3+ times the price on LA for LFP to make sense. On Mon, 1 Apr 2019

I just replaced a 48V Lithionics battery with a 51V and I saw on their spec sheet that they do 12V and 24V as well. It seems like a very solid battery and BMS, but I have limited information on longevity.

Agree with Jay and adding they are too small in capacity. Even the Discover at 6.6kwh is on the edge. However, as Jay said, they do talk with each other and have a mode where they will work with Outback and Magnum. They are the cats meow on a Schneider system as there is not much to program.

Chris, That is a big battery you need. I think you should take them to 48V. Both Iron Edison and Discover AES build LFP solutions without having to parallel too many batteries. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail
