My completely non-expert impression is that SimpliPhi is highly regarded, maybe considered the best of the bunch. I've also seen a lot of attention around Kilovault. What strikes me as curious, though, is the fact that Kilovault and alt-E, an RE distributor, have the same physical address. The late solar queen at alt-E, Amy (RIP) mentions in a video that the two companies have some relationship, but it's not clear what that is. And that's not to say it's a problem, but like I said, just curious.
How about Battle Born? I haven't noticed a lot of people using them for off-grid, but they are selling direct, so maybe that's the reason -- you don't see them on the usual retail sites.
There are others: Dakota Lithium, Big Battery, Discover, Ionic, RELiON, Canbat, Rolls... I also notice someone put up a video showing that he bought China-made batteries on Alibaba and saved big $$$. Seems like he has quite the load of batteries for $3800.
Alright, so, what I'm primarily interested is the experience people have had with their particular lithium battery brand in various off-grid situations, as measured by reliability and performance.
