In my earlier post, I was not talking about LiFe batteries. I'm not a fan of that chemistry, and either is Tesla. If I recall correctly, they use regular 'ol LiCo right now but are looking at switching to NMC down the road.
Would I tell someone unskilled to build a big LiCo battery for their projects, no.
Just because it's home made doesn't mean it can't be "dropped in" ... The only reason the LiFe are drop in is because A) they're underpowered from what they could be and B) the manuf is relying on the chemistry to tolerate abuse from a lead acid charging system
Check out Jehu Garcia on the YouTubes... he's no rocket surgeon but that doesn't stop him from building his own LiCo Powerwalls. It doesn't hurt that he owns a battery recycling company, so he has a lot better access to cells to cherry pick from.
