Can't believe I moved all of those batteries after leg day ? I'm never going back. I thought, what do I really want for a system. Ruixu stack and propower packs are my favorite. Almost 60kWh:
I need to rewire this system and make it look cool. But damn, it's beautiful! So much space!

I think if you want to just buy one, or if you need ul, then probably the way to go. But I'll stick with my DIY. Under $3k each, 304ah, only 16" X 24", and around 210 pounds. I really wonder why their battery is so big and heavy. Pretty sure if I can squeeze the cells in this cabinet, they could too.
What I don't show in the videos and posts haha:
Nice! One of my raw cells systems is still running:
The videos didn't get many views so I stopped making DIY raw cell systems. I really wish people shared those videos and got more views so I can make more of them. Oh well. I have to do what the people want.

Weight is the problem. They should make it in two cabinets you stack together. Ul9540 allows you to put 2 in the basement, 2 in the garage, and 2 outside. 6x14, or 84kWh.

Don't they have to be three feet apart? Or would these be tested together in "clusters" of two and three to be permitted that way?

3 feet apart. Each "cluster" is limited to 20kWh. Max 40 kWh in any one location, each cluster separated by 3 feet.
Nah nah… I think the cut off for entry into the free server rack giveaway should be 9500 posts…
I don't feel so bad now..
Or more…
Still neater than my shop or garage…
Most likely the outdoor rating, and heat sink design contribute to the weight. Not to mention the heaters, and insulation…
I know the EV battery modules I have the heat sink mounted to each of them is HEAVY!

HaHa rtfm lol.
I want to see hot states test's outside.
The metalwork is wayyyy thicker than a car, they should be fine. Who is going to do a baseball test !!!!
Because of the supplied connectors and cables.
Coming in the Autumn I understand.
12" per the manual.

That would be cool with the lightsI didn't realize it until last night, but I think this battery is pretty sweet. The look, form factor, busbar with quick connectors, communication ability, internal heaters, outdoor rated and the list goes on.
Now I want to dump my server rack batteries. Which one would you rather have. This setup:

I just love the look. I love sci-fi movies and I want to make a system that looks really cool. I'm thinking four batteries and an 18K would do everything I need.
The communication set up was a bit difficult. I should probably make a setup video for beginners. I think anybody could figure it out though if they read the whole manual. I think there should be a tutorial on designating the master battery right after the communication protocol set up.
But besides that, this battery is pretty impressive. I'm going to be asking all of the other companies why they don't have this type of battery. Hopefully we can get some healthy competition into the market.
What do you guys think. Is there anything that you dislike about this battery that I'm missing? I really didn't think I was going to like it but seeing it in my shop in person, makes me want only these batteries now. I think I might move my server rack batteries into my garage today. I only have two power pro batteries but I could run everything I need with them. I'm almost at 5 megawatt hours with my 18K, so I really don't need to push tons of loads through it anymore. Making a beautiful system would be fun. I want to add LED lights behind it and make it pop

Are there any EG4 Inverters that work outside?
