I wish I would have waited for some self heating units as our 'power shack' is unheated. Already have 4 server rack Ruixu's unheated and they are stubborn to warm up.
did you get? I think your math is 3300 USD divided by 16 is 206.19 or so. So if you could find a device closer to $199 per kWh, would you buy it then? Would that be a screaming deal? is that closer to what it costs to DIY build your own? Thanks.
I did not get this one, couple months ago I got the EG4 Indoor wallmount unit, was more per kwh than the 206 and more than what Ruixu has it at now. Went that route mainly due to support in the off chance I need it
Is my maths correct?
Yeah that's the math I used, most of the sellers of batteries have shipping that needs to be remembered, so this Ruixu today is 3,819.00
Is that the price with shipping?
Is this battery weatherproof and suitable for outdoor mounting?
Thats what it shows for me, go through the check out process and you'll see what it would be
That statement reads like it but I don't have one nor am I a Ruixu export. I'd look at the manual for certifications of how weatherproof it is or reach out to Ruixu directly
I'm not sure if the Ruixu 16kWh has battery heaters like the eg4 all weather.
I was more focused on whether you can mount it outdoors where it will be hit by direct rain during a storm and direct sunlight during a hot part of the day…
The life of LFP cells drops dramatically with higher temps like could be experienced outdoors in direct sunlight. I would put them indoors in a conditioned space unless required by code. Heating is fine for winter time but without cooling it's a problem begging to happen imo.
Been posting on exactly that subject in another thread: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/w...-3kwh-diy-lifepo4-battery.90679/#post-1205152
I believe it's only tested for 9540 in conjunction with the Ruixu inverter.
