Hi. I'm currently running a 48V system using two 48V 100AH EG4 LifePower4 batteries in a server rack from SS. I have the opportunity to get two 12V 100AH Chins batteries (for free) from a buddy whos moving to an urban location and is parting out his small DIY off-grid system.
Would it be a bad idea to get these (almost 1 year old) Chins, buy two more new from Amazon for about $300 each, wire them up in series to get 48V 100AH, and add them to the server rack via the busbars? Whats a better/safer way to do this? Or would you rather just spend $1500 plus freight for a new LifePower4 battery?
I haven't been keeping up with the latests on Chins. Are they still considered a decent alternative? Thanks in advance.
