I have been getting alerts from AliBaba regarding 200A 48V server style batteries for under $700. I know there is the AliBaba/China discount and a delay, but isn't that half of what they are going for in the US from even the cheapest supplier?
I did notice in this case the one I am most interested in doesn't have temperature protection, but at that price, couldn't I keep the case/batteries and put in a whole new BMS with all the bells and whistles?
I built my first system with EVE prismatic cells and BMSs all from China and I had no problems. I am having a hard time not pulling the trigger on one of these.
I did just take advantage of the MPP LV6048 sale and a local is selling old grid 240W panels for $35 each so it seems like a cheap route into a 48V system.
