Hello, I too am in Texas and new to this stuff, all I have so far is 16 LIFEPO4 cells and a Daly BMS.

I just ordered a Daly 48V 16S 200 amp BMS (200 amp discharge, 100 amp charge) from Dexter at current connected who is on the forum here and talked to him on the phone and he said it is very good at balancing and I shouldnt have to add another balancing unit.

Thanks, what was the price on their 48V 100AH ? Looks like they took the price off the site while not in stock. Thanks

Thanks. So which battery company in the US has a good reputation and service and reliability and has ready to ship 48V LifePo4 5KWH -6KWH batterys available? Edit,,,, If said battery is available for pickup in person near Houston, Dallas, Austin that would be a plus.

Hello, Thanks for letting me in on the fun here. Pretty cool that now finally solar parts prices are making this a viable option. Questions - Say a new LG 9500 btu window AC that shows 920 cooling watts, im assuming that is full blast, so what would be a good guess on watts on low cool low...
