Ed Tech Sensei

Background
I am an educational technology specialist working in public schools. I've taught and coached robotics for 10 years. I am also an FAA registered drone pilot and started a drone flying club/competition team.

I am totally new to solar applications and LiFePO4 battery technology although I am very familiar with 1s to 4s Lipo batteries.
Current or Future Solar Power System
2X BougeRV 180 w panels, Jackery 500, Jackery 240.

I am currently building two different systems from a variety of components. 4X 3.2v 50 ah cells, Daly BMS, Giandel 1200 w inverter, older AIMS 1500 w inverter/charger with transfer switch, Renogy Rover 40a charge controller.

Just ordered two batteries on Ebay. Battery EVO 12.8v 1.5k/wh battery for $505 and an Ironworks 573wh battery for $125. The EVO is just like the BigBattery that Will took apart in his video but with smaller 120ah cells. It is sold by Battery EVO but is not listed on Bigbattery.com.
