One of the great things about DIY is finding a great deal that considerably lowers the cost.
Thanks to Dexter at Current Connected I've built (4) 24v, 200ah LiFePo4 batteries using salvaged batteries for a bit more than the cost of 1 prebuilt.
- all 32 cells proved to be good as new.
So this post is just a heads up to keep your eyes open for what may pop up on CC's Savings Shack
More is on the way - CC is moving to a new warehouse and they want to get rid of a bunch of stuff
Right now there's a great deal on some JBD 16s BMS(s)
Somehow the footer got imposed over the description (reduce page size until the footer drops)
Can't beat a 5 pack for $100
Disclaimer:
I receive no compensation for promoting CC. I'm repaying a favor, nothing more.
Dexter went out of his way to help me out, besides It would be selfish of me not to pass on any deals I find at CC

Update:
from the SOK battery post, Dexter added this:
Arrgh, I missed out on the SOK batteries by waiting and now comes the temptation of a Victron Multiplus-2
Sometimes sleeping on it before making a decision isn't the best idea ?
The addition items aren't posted yet but I'll keep checking

https://ss.currentconnected.com/product/jbd-16s-lifepo4-bms-5-pack/The factory forgot to solder the wires onto the PCB that connect to P-/B-. All you need to do is solder on your own wires and these will be good to go.
These are a 5 pack that come with 3ft balance wires for each BMS, Bluetooth dongles, and the USB-UART adapter to plug it into your PC for programming.
