I just paid $350 for 8-280AH cells and $370 for 8-310AH cells. Will build 2 12V batteries out of each group of 8 cells. Bought 4 200A BMS for $240 plus probably $100 in cables and parts… works out to 90 cents/AH plus probably 20 hours of my time. Doubt the cells will be grade A so I may only have 1100 AH pushing my price to $1/AH…OH well, I can live with that as 9 months ago I thought I’d done well building 600AH for $1200.
Not worried about charge them below freezing as rarely am I in freezing weather. If needing to charge…turn off the chargers (solar included) and run the generator, putting an electric heater in the outside battery area until the cells are above freezing and then charge.
