The DIY LiFePO4 battery is a great way to go if you are:
(i) somewhat handy and understand the basics of electricity and electronics and
(ii) enjoy a DIY project.
Some useful resources:
LiFePO4 Cells are plentiful and probably cheapest on Alibaba and Xuba seems to be a company with a decent track record:
Shenzen Xuba
They are also available on Amazon:
Amazon 280Ah LiFePO4 Cells
There is well supported and easy to use bluetooth enabled BMS available from Overkill Solar:
Overkill 120A BMS
Also available for much less from the manufacturer:
LLT Power the OEM for Overkill Solar BMS
Good resorses, some of thoes I was going to add later. I dont even think you need to know much about electronics, just have to know how to charge a battery and monitor the voltage for the top ballancing which realy is the hardest thing in the build and thats not rocket sience. when you get down to it if you have all your BMS cell lines with ring crimps already it is about 5 to 10 min to actualy assemble the battery and then depending on your charger the top ballancing would take a bit of time.. but building a case if you want one would be the hardest part. I have seen everything from old tool boxes, to home made wooden boxes used to house them, you can be as elaborate as you like with the casing.
