Hi Mex,

Price.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/202396378794 $1350 Cdn for 200 amp-hours @ 12 volts.

They have a 400 amp-hour one as well.

Is there a favorite?

For that price difference between battleborn and the cdn unit--it would pay for a trip to pick it up. Have a holiday!

I would only use one with a removable and serviceable BMS. One that can be serviced in the USA. Sending a non serviceable battery to China for repair at those prices is not worth the chance and they are not going to just dish out new $1000 batteries because you think you have a problem with it. Many don't even have serviceable BMS.

David ... what do you want ... ??

1. Cheapest but DIY messing around?
OR
2. Plug and play and then spend your saved time doing other things?

Here's one plug and play model I would choose if I could sell enough stuff on craigslist to afford it and wait until it was restocked: https://starkpower.com/product/12-volt-125ah-battery/

Was mulling something around 10 lbs 5 Kg that could be controlled drained to 0% and used with a BiPAP away from home in an outage. A nifty critter with remote 10 watt LED lamp and USB charger for an eBook.

Why are they out of stock?

I would have to have a ten pound battery. It's all about a herniated spine :(

Sounds something like a Goal Zero type power pack minus the remote control 10 watt flood light.


Clicky

Mex,

Shorai makes an LI motorcycle battery.

10# weight, your looking at approx 30Amphrs capacity
plus or minus a couple ampHrs

is that enough capacity for your needs

walmart has 10 Ahr 12v, 2Lb 14oz, $99, built in BMS

(3) of them will be under 9#

you could gang them together in a box
