CanLife battery 24V280Ah

[Brw777]

Hey just wondering about this new battery from Canada. It’s made by Westrock Battery in Winnipeg. They’ve been around for years and I’ve used them for my off-grid summer cottage. I’m now looking at upgrading my 630 Ah lead acid bank to LiFePo. It is expensive though. Thinking that the 280 Ah battery would be big enough. Would love to see Will do a full review on this one!

What battery are you referring to?

LINKS PEOPLE LINKS, most everyone will not search for things.

630AH Gross with lead = 315AH Net useable provided you never go below 50% DOD.
280AH LFP with safety margin 10% = 252AH if using battery between 2.900V-3.450V which is the power-curve for LFP.

I’ve been looking at those batteries too. I’m from Winnipeg and have worked with Westrock for years...good service. The batteries are very expensive but on par with the other pre-builts. I’m trying to figure out if I’m gonna build my battery or buy these ones. They also have a great alternative to the Growatt all in ones...in both 24 and 48 volts...more expensive but better options.

Ya I've been really happy dealing with Ron and Jason. No BS. I'm in the same boat too but am a little intimidated to build a 280Ah battery for my cottage. However i am thinking of building a few of Will's milk crate power packs and see how that goes.

Yup...sounds familiar. There’s a part of me that thinks that a year from now the prices might come down or supply increases. So...a little apprehensive to take the plunge. Also nervous about working with overseas vendors and making bad decisions. I appreciate your feedback and will keep you posted should I learn more. Thanks

Check out Ontario Battery Service if you're in the GTA as well. I've been dealing with Stefan who has been fantstic. They don't have much for a website - but are really responsive via email and carry some great product.

Thanks for sharing!!!

I’m interested is buying two of the 24 volt 280 ah batteries, plus an inverter and some solar panels....it’s just a lot of money. Building the batteries is way cheaper but I’m not sure about all the uncertainty of the products from China and ordering etc. West Rock has been good to me in the past and I’d like to give them my business...I’m just having a tough time sinking that much money into those batteries. Again, thanks for sharing.

Looks very much like a re-labeled Sigineer unit.
