These batteries have evolved nicely. Simpler rigid cases, better handles, better terminals, easy access to replace cells, etc. Some have gotten worse before getting better with parts easily bent during shipping, crazy padding, tape that is going to come off, no concern for damaging heat build-up, BMS’s that make you wonder if they’re actually doing what they’re supposed to, etc.
I would be impressed with:
-a case with a removable plate allowing me to slide in a Victron controller (or two) with heat sink facing out (or just a place to rest it inside the box)
-a connector (or connectors) that easily get unplugged if the wires somehow get yanked on
-a thin, non-sliding rectangular pad to rest on
-room for a kit of thin lead plates inside the box with genuine assurance that it would insulate from an EMP. (I know that sounds crazy but who expected what we’re going through now?)
-a removable plate allowing me to slide in an inexpensive display for voltage
-a process (just written up on a piece of paper) for easy testing the integrity of the cells and BMS
