Those are some nice cells, at $95, a 16 cell 51.2v 16.384kwh battery is only $1520 minus BMS, case, busbars, etc. Is it just me or are LiFePO4 batteries coming down in price? 12v 100ah batteries cost me about $500 a piece a couple years ago and now they are almost half that price. I'm not sure if the economy has manufacturers reducing prices to get rid of inventory or if the cost of materials has come down. Makes me wish I had more money to spend, or a a KZbin channel to attract some free batteries. :)
@AveRage_Joe Жыл бұрын
That is the manufacture price to a reseller/dealer so Im not sure how much more the reseller would charge. But YES I think they are starting to come down. I think its because more and more companies are selling bringing the price down. You should 100% do KZbin videos! Its free!!! (minus a camera). I started in my "spare" time after work. Slowly made videos then all of a sudden people reach out to do reviews! Not kidding, start making videos!!!

$100kwh is the price they are quoting you Joe, but EVE has had the price between $120-150kwh for 2-3 years for A grade brand new. Only in the last couple of months have we seen the prices go to $100Kwh or thereabouts. And again, this is wholesale price. And only the very largest buyers are going to get that price.

@@AveRage_Joe OK. I am on vpn..maybe that's why. Do you forsee these cells being around a while and possibly getting cheaper? $95 seems pretty damn good price if they are 10K+ cycles and good quality. I'd want to build a 48v battery.. I imagine based on weight I'd need a forklift to move it though. Do you know if a 48v setup could use the external Victron BMS to manage/balance cells?

Yeah I had to turn off my vpn and it worked. Yeah I would imagine the cells would be around a while as they just came to market.
