Best price I’ve ever seen for a big battery/battery evo.
Not only the price, but the form factor looks stellar!

I'll take twice the capacity for the same price.... ?

I do like the form factor but wonder if they are prismatic, pouch, or cylindrical
They don't like Nord, won't let me access the site. A quick duckduckgo says blade prismatics?![]()

On the battery evo website this morningWhere did you see that? Shows on their site at $5k and change for me.

... Could get ~18.5Kwh for ~$2k...You know my thoughts on the cells you listed. I can’t get enough of em ?
But imagine that rhino behind the seat of your truck!!!
I looked at that as well.. Was a decent price.. But the shipping was close to $300 for me..Best price I’ve ever seen for a big battery/battery evo.

Looks like they updated the pricing today.. I thought it may have been a mistake on their part with the pricing/discount.. Hope they follow through and don't cancel on you..Never mind, I found it here. They have number of these listed on their store but only this one has the discount if you buy 4.
Ordered 4 instead of building using B cells. This is more expensive but I have a warranty and possible return if I need to.
Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I just saw that. I went to see if the HOLIDAYSAVE20 coupon would stack and maybe order a few more. We'll see what happens. I haven't received a cancellation yet. 4 units for a little over 20 kWh for $3,396 isn't bad.Looks like they updated the pricing today..

Very nice! When I looked earlier, they took all of their server rack batts off of ebay..Received shipping confirmation today, should be here within a week. Looking forward to completing my off grid solar shed. $849 per battery makes my day.

I did see your favorite powerurus, their 12V 200Ah non heating is down to $547.Just found this Black Friday deal:
$399 SOK 12v 100Ah with Bluetooth and heater:

SOK 12V100Ah LiFePO4 Battery Bluetooth & Built-in Heater
SOK 12V100Ah LiFePO4 Battery Bluetooth & Built-in Heater designed for cold weather using! Can safely charge at temperatures down to -20°C. In Stock!invertersrus.com
Now I have a high opinion of this seller and they also have a good reputation on this forum. But either this is an extremely good deal or there’s a catch. Maybe old stock?
Even if old stock, this is a screaming deal! It’s probably going away on Monday or when they sell out.
:::
Edit: I found the catch, only good for 12v use, not to be used in series without an external balancer (which is a good idea no matter what batteries you put into series):
I’m not super familiar with SOK batteries, so I don’t know if this restriction is coming across all their batteries or not.
- Notice: Can only be used on 12v systems, cannot be connected for 24/36/48 volt configurations without a balance management system.
Looks like Current Connected have it (BT plus heater) for $20 more:Just found this Black Friday deal:

Batteryhookup has new 105Ah EVE cells for $40. LF280K V3 cells for $115.
These CALB 180Ah plastic cased ones look interesting for mobile applications:Batteryhookup has new 105Ah EVE cells for $40. LF280K V3 cells for $115.
I'm torn between choosing between the 12V 200Ah powerurus or the 48V 50Ah DC house (no BT tho).Perhaps next year will be the year to buy raw cells and DIY my own battery. If the news is correct, then those 105Ah cells might go for $20 on Black Friday next year.
What is your plan? Personally, if you just want 2.5kw of storage I would do the 48v over the 12v..I'm torn between choosing between the 12V 200Ah powerurus or the 48V 50Ah DC house (no BT tho).
