Looking good, my favorite is the Tesla adapter/charger ?
Who's is bigger?

It is the cheapest $ per kW of output you can buy, comes in a carrying case and you can get every adapter under the sun. You can't beat it.
I do want the Emporia EV charger to be able to charge with excess Solar though. Something the Tesla mobile connector is lacking.
My goal is 100kWh somewhere next year. I'm currently at 60kWh, so rather small in comparison to the others here

I will be at around 140kwh when all done, reality says nearer 130kwh as I don't like to flog the crap outta them.
3x EG4 power pro at 14kwh
2x diy 14kwh
2x diy 15kwh
4x Felicity 10kwh

I have a pair of 2012 Smith electric box truck batteries… 180KWh each. I have not gotten around to reorganizing them into a 48V bank yet… they are still in the original side mount fiberglass cases…

Following for inspiration to keep ordering cells ?
I'm down around 30% soc after cooking dinner and I already used 9kwh from the grid last night to bring them up ~20%.

Catch, make or grow everything you can.
1 EG4 Lifepower 5.12kWh (my very first 48v pack)
1 Solar Power Store 5.12kWh rebranded SOK my second pack
3 DIY 280Ah 14.3kWh JK BMS controlled
1 DIY 304Ah 15.5kWh JK BMS controlled
total of 68kWh in the ESS today.
32- 304Ah cells on a boat heading to Vancouver...patiently waiting there arrival...will bring the ESS to 99kWh
{two more packs planned for 2024...for a 130kWh final total} yeah I said "final" but we will see.
oh- and two Sodium-Ion batteries shipping - a 12v and a 24v to play with on the bench and try out in the MPP 1012 and 2724 in Canadian Winter lol.

First I wanted to top 1,000 ah (48v nominal), I realized that will be easy enough and happen by years end. Now I want to top 100 Kwh and I might satisfy the addiction, for a month or two...

Must have more - MORE battery...

As the prices keep falling, every good addict here easily comes up with excuses to buy more batteries. See:
After 100kWh, he’ll have trouble sleeping and will be getting shaky again.My goal is 100kWh somewhere next year. I'm currently at 60kWh, so rather small in comparison to the others here

I already bought a Victron Lynx Distributor to combine the new bank. I backed myself into a corner with the first setup and if I gotta keep up with you guys, I need to plan better. Might just as well order another Victron Lynx Distributor, so I can take a bank out if service without loosing power.

All of you guys have great looking systems… Seriously , it inspiring to see the work that went into that stuff…Generally speaking ,I think if you haven’t built a system one cant really even appreciate what one is seeing…And what I built pales compared to these big boys…

-ever notice the cell prices drop about a month after @timselectric buys a truck load of cells...and the market sags in response!
Well please don’t dive out the window headfirst …( and comb your hair)
Talk about market forecasting....
You can use a Lynx power in if you wanna save some money
There’s even some vids on YouTube on adding the fuses
I should be at 62kwh by years end. All in EEL cases.
No pics cuz I’ve been slacking, I’ll try and fix that this weekend.
Similar to @42OhmsPA i had an arbitrary goal of 1000ah and I’m only 200ah away, but still 40kwh away from the magic century mark there
My next batteries after these 4 will be much smaller and more portable

Why I love DIY. Go big, go small, your choice. Can change in the middle of the road if you want.

In a short time, month or so, I will be at just over 230 kwh. I use too much power with a house, shop, 2 electric cars. All off grid.
