i recently looked at that site, and those Telsa batteries
200miles per charge cycle, 100,000 miles aka 500 cycles to loose 15% capacity
1000 cyles batterys down to 3829 watt hrs aka 3.8KwHrs
5.3kwhr $1450 $0.274 per KWhr, plus new inverter, plus new charger etc..
10% of the weight of my 675 AmpHr aka 8000 watt hr aka 8.0 KwHr AGM bank
4kw useable to 50% cost $350 $0.087 per useable watthr based on 4kw 50% use
will the weight difference save $1100 worth of fuel over the life span of the lithium ? will they last 5yrs and 1800 cycles , will they last 10 or 15yrs
at 3 times the cost per KW hr, they need too, just to balance out the cost effectiveness of surplus AGM
and this is a ROLL your Own DIY system
2oldman can tell you about the cost of a ready to install retail Li battery
perhaps i'll change my mind in a year or TWO, but not today
