I asked Ampere Time why their 400ah was so much more money than getting (2) 200ah batteries and wiring in parallel and this is their response. I need help in the translation
The reason why a single 400Ah battery is a little more expensive than 2*200Ah connected in parallel, that because there are subtle voltage differences between different battery modules, and the battery cells voltage difference in a single battery will be smaller 2 200Ah batteries connection.
That means the single battery's consistency of cells will be better than two 200Ah batteries in parallel.
In addition, you don't need to buy much more extra wires to connect more batteries.
Furthermore, a single battery can save much more space and less weight than 2 batteries connected in parallel.
