    scalability of LifePO4, an insane® battery pack.

    @brandnewb Aim to keep PACK intact, AKA get a Tesla Y or 3 pack and never have to open it. Most of the toys in the battery penthouse can be controlled now. Find a suitable HVDC inverter. I am working to this goal. My current system is an off the shelf 400v dc system from pomcube.com.

    New 200 amp rated JBD

    So glad we are getting BMS units now with self heating on charge. Gonna test these new self heating BMS units on charge. Placement of temp sensor is gonna have a huge impact I feel. Needs to be high on the pack to let the heating soak the cells.

    if you dont need the 240v just stick with the120v, The idle power is on the high side for the dual inverter units. I only have 240v for my heat pumps.

    Those BYD's look to be the 2nd gen of the ones many of us got shafted by with bigbattery / tech club. Only one out of my 6 I ordered was a 2nd gen. Your pic looks to have the single stud cells, hence 2nd gen.

    Price hikes coming on naked cells

    If you got your order paid chances are high your just inline for shipping like everyone else. The cheap shipping options many of these vendors use are also starting to get hit with the lack of shipping containers.
