Yet another battery rec.
Im currently using FLA batteries and they need to be replaced.
I have (8) 6V 370ah FLA batteries.
I am thinking of switching to LiFePo4 and buying a new MPPT charge controller and using my existing magnum 4024 inverter.
Question:
I can find a SimpliPhi 3.8kWh 24v battery locally for $2700 each (new) I would get 3x of these and beef up the battery bank slightly since two of them would be a slight decrease in battery bank
OR
I see things like signature solar's EG4 5.12kWh 24v battery for $1500 and I could get 2 of those and save a ton of money.
What am I missing here? Whats with the big price difference. Are SimpliPhi batteries better quality? are they THAT much better?? Am I overthinking it?
Thanks in advance
