Is battleborn batteries good and do they hold up well enough for a offgrid system
Battleborn Batteries.

Over priced and their BMS has issues. If I was going to pay to much, I would get SOK

Really fun testing! It is over an hour long though. I just finished watching the whole thing. I think he is on contract with battle born or something. I left a huge comment under the video of all the problems I had with the video if you want to see. What do you guys think? I do not think he...

not sure how good it is, but some of the best China made batt which even Tesla using, and the price is 1/3 - 1/4 of that BattleBorn
so why pay 4 times more for, maybe less quality/warranty ? and only 12v ?
do your homework to find out yourself
You want the battery voltage to be the same as the inverter voltage- don’t put batteries in series..
Yes it can be done but there will be more maintenance in thdd we future as you break it apart and re-balance- so only use BattleBorn on 12v systems.
Also, having the ability to check the bms with software- Bluetooth-cable, etc. may be super valuable at some point. Your battery cells can become imbalanced. By occasionally checking the software you will know if this is happening. Also, as you hold it at a “higher” voltage for a “longer” period - you will know when it is back in balance - and not just guessing.
Unfortunately BattleBorn does not have a Bluetooth feature or another way to see cell voltages - so I will NOT recommend them.

My first 20kwh where SOK $8000. Nice batteries, have had them for a couple of years now. Then I got some off brand in metal box batts for about $4000, also 20kwh. They have been good all summer. I was just looking at some 12v 100a batts on ScAmazon for about $150 each and was thinking about building another 20kwh battery for about $2400. I would build them 4P 2S with a Victron balancer.
$2400 for 20kwh.....not to bad of a deal, lithium prices are low right now.
