Yeah! Not getting the time to post and keep up at moment too busy with other things. You made an excellent choice but check out the LTO Lithium Titanium batteries on Bimble Solar. Early days, no info yet on Hybrid GTI compatibility or which BMS they are using but if you have the dosh it looks like the way to go.
1 cycle a day gives that battery a theortical life of 82 years
. I suspect something would fall apart before then, but you could leave those in your will or the grandchildren .
£1000 per kWh, you must be having a laugh or have more money than sense, Jesus that’s expensive.
Tweet! I bet @ElonMusk uses them?
works at -30C though. Being able to install batteries externally would be a great benefit. Inverters (most) can be mounted externally, so you could install all the gear outdoors. But at £1k per kWh, you can buy a lot of sheds and greenhouse heaters
He maybe does but then again he also launches the biggest rockets in the world too, have you got a space mission imminent from your back garden or own a car factory?

Yep, agreed.
A bit excessive for the UK, but would suggest our normal winter temps at around -5/10C would have a very minor affect on the battery performance. Unlike current batteries.
They say "Our racks are built for the UK Climate. They heat themselves when a temperature of <5°c is detected, enabling the user to charge our racks in temperatures of -20C." Ideal for the cold garage in UK winter.Are you able to create a YouTube video of your efforts as I feel sure they would be much appreciated by a wider audience? The issue that concerns me is cell balancing during the autumn/winter/spring months. As far as I am aware balancing only takes place when the battery is fully and then it needs time whilst full to equalize cells. How do you plan to accommodate this? Are you going to disconnect the battery and charge it separately from the grid?
I think perhaps Fogstar might if asked make a video of a typical install for potential customers to give an idea.
No point IMHO, the amount coming out of the batteries whether 2 or 3 are in circuit will be shared between them and thats what gets replaced when you charge. Probably better to keep the wear and tear equal.
Theyre not daisy chained, theyre in parallel. The outgoing leads are connected to opposite ends of the parallel leads to balance out the small amount of resistance in the leads so that the first battery in line doesnt take the lions share of the work during charging and discharging.
