Hi Piper. They sold on Monday.Justin, are these batteries still available? I'm in Abq. I bought two cases of the Navitas 25A batteries but realize that for my purpose, fewer large capacity cells will be better. So I'll be selling the Navitas...
I live off grid in the east mountains. My lead acids are going out after 6 years (8s3p) so I'm building a LFP pack. My dad bought 16 of the first order from me for his rv so I sold the other 16. I have a second order of the CALB 300's on their way (not selling these). I built my dad's pack with a batrium wm7 - which turned out great!!!!
That seems like a really good price point! How many ah will those out out?I'll be taking it in the shorts. Will have 2X 14-15S NMC batteries running a Batrium. Last time I checked the carts, all the goodies were going to run about $1300.

Yeah! I hear you. Batrium claims to be a good balance between function and price... Highly Debatable.. Mine ran ~1600 after shipping with 32 cell mins. ?. I went with it because of reputation and they actually respond to email.. the wm7+ I used on my dads bank was ~600 with shunt and after shipping if memory serves.. It was cool to see it start balancing immediately after config and powering on.That was just for the Batrium. I have much more invested in the actual cells.
Nice! That price is pretty amazing for that amount of power! I'll be a little over that at ~30kWh with LFP. I almost pulled the trigger on building a small cell pack but changed my mind after looking at my growing inventory of unfinished projects. You have my respect .Out of curiosity (failing memory), I went back and checked. Since I'm limiting to 14-15S, I should be able to use the WM5 for the first 14-15S battery and the MM8 for the second.
Embarrassingly, I believe I did not convert from AUD. I can see now that it's AUD$1200. Only about $935 including shipping. That takes a little of the sting out.
As it stands, I have about 39kWh that I purchased for $4500 - about $115/kWh. I will be investing at least another $1200 for more. Had I realized how much work the 630 cell pack would be, I would have gone LFP, but these were bought well before I joined here.
Nice!!! I'd like to see pics when you are done. - if you don't mind sharing.These are NMC/LMO cells from a PHEV. I have a relatively inexpensive, though very unpredictable source. By the time I have 53kWh, I'll be about $6K into it.
Outstanding! Great work! Nice to see others fighting the same problems... Aka trying to create a system where the wife forgets she's off grid and fighting a never ending rodent battle. Thanks for the write up!
Thanks for the rodent tips!! I'll have to try the lights.
Another way: Early on we had rats that were about 8 inches (not including tail). I had a tarp on the roof and could hear them chewing on it early in the morning. So I'd get a flat head shovel and play whack a mole. My wife would wake up to banging on the roof. When I would get them they'd roll out and land on the ground.... ?
No rats here; we have these instead at this time of year.Thanks for the rodent tips!! I'll have to try the lights.
