No idea. I didnt. Just a simple chat with Amy got me what I needed.Why people are ordering "the steve model" ?

I could have purchased prebuilt as in server rack batteries. Much simpler. But I love DIY, reason I chose this direction. If I have a question, concern or suggestion Amy is just a message away.
You save money on DIY batteries to feed your blue addiction. Duh.Exactly. More Ah in a smaller footprint for less money, that's why I DIY. Now, my addiction with blue components can't be explained away as being less expensive so I'm working on that argument.
I’m developing that same addiction. I can’t wait until my boxes show up. I was watching a teardown video of the SOK server rack batteries on current connected’s youtube channel. They aren’t so dissimilar from these DIY packs, so I feel pretty good about it. The only notable difference was in the SOK battery, there were additional metal racks for each set of 8 cells. I don’t really think that would be feasible with the large 280ah cells anyway.Exactly. More Ah in a smaller footprint for less money, that's why I DIY.

Blue? What is blue?You save money on DIY batteries to feed your blue addiction. Duh.
Blue? What is blue?
I thought you saved more and that justified more batteries? But I can get inverter credits?You save money on DIY batteries to feed your blue addiction. Duh.

Well I would get more batteries, but some people are afflicted with blue addiction.I thought you saved more and that justified more batteries? But I can get inverter credits?

I think for many on this site, the addictions are an "and" rather than an "or" issue!Well I would get more batteries, but some people are afflicted with blue addiction.
Seeing Luyaun doesn’t actually make the case (they are primarily a cell reseller), I think waiting for these cases to be “prime time where no tweaking is needed” is going to be a while.I didn't ask for the Steve model as it did not exist at the time. I actually ordered around end of February and had to wait for the Chinese holiday to end before the boxes were built.
I can say the product is not consistent. For example, I setup the balance leads using the same bottom case and found the bars that hold the balance leads are not the same length from box to box. I haven't assembled that box yet but I'll probably have to add another sheet or two of poron to take up the extra length.
It is an OK product if you can tinker. If you are not handy, might be better off not buying these until the kinks are worked out.
I need another box for my golf cart, not sure if I really want to go with Luyuan until the kinks are worked out. If you watched the video, you should notice I did not review the product- no pros or cons. Hopefully these improve. I have enough things to build, I'm really not in the mood to modify another box.
I have another box in the house waiting on final assembly so I put the cells in and checked for you. 7/32" clearance on the side with cells pushed towards center, a 1/4" bolt won't quite go in and this was with separator sheet out on the outside.It's a delicate balance.
For those of you with a 16s box and 280Ah EVE cells, how much room is there on the long side of the batteries (short side of the cells)? I'm trying to figure out if I can fit warming pads against the batteries.

You do have the option to use the center divider bracket which is about 3/4" wide.
