EG4 PowerPro: 280AH @ 51.2v = $3431
Battleborn GC3: 270Ah @ 51.2v = $9996
And the EG4 is less likely to have balancing issues....and the EG4 has UL9540 certification and is actually legal in California, the state this was installed in.

The main character in Pawn Stars has a small machine shop the same way, hundreds of battleborns powering it. I'll never understand.

It's not the first suspicious battleborn install I've seen on youtube. They're really leading a lot of beginners down the wrong path with their nonsense.
If they would at least do something like Victron and offer 12v packs that can be assembled into a balancing series that would be one thing, but they're just out their recommending beginners put packs in series and then hope they stay balanced by luck.

The dude in the red jacket is a doppelganger of "nomadic fanatic" on YouTube. I thought he started a different business there for a second. This system is majestic.....
Imagine in 10 years what people will think of 2024 prices of server rack builds and costs compared to whatās down the road.

That's just way beyond silly.
Such a huge waste of money.

This is what you get when you pick the wrong installer.

Maybe I am a bit jealous of the MT pole mounts and the REC Alphas, with that budget id have twice as many.

Definitely not what I would use for batteries.
You would think someone in the industry would know better.
My biggest question is what does ā Surfer dudeā do for a living to afford all that?
