After Will's review of the Trophy server rack batteries, I looked up US pricing on several different 48V server rack batteries.
Edit: Corrected it to Wh (Not KWh)
From the @Will Prowse reviews, none of these batteries seem to be bad quality. Some might be marginally better but it did not seem like you would go wrong with any of them.
When you consider this is with the Matched Grade A cells, BMS, Case, breaker, a 4LED SOC indicator and coms ports, these prices are pretty impressive. (All but the LiFePOWER4 have a full display. In addition the Trophy Batteries have internal heaters). Furthermore, the competition is heavy so we can probably expect to see even better pricing in the future.
It really does make me think twice about building my own battery.
