One other interesting thing about RELiON ( and, I'm assuming, Smart batteries ) is that you can get them repaired.
If you have cells that have failed, a bad BMS or a cracked case/terminal you can have any of those parts replaced by a service center.
The folks I got my batteries from had two more used 200Ah batteries, but one of them had failed cells from a bad BMS. The BMS had been replaced to put the battery back into service and if it were sold to a new owner, the cells can be replaced to bring its capacity back up to nominal.
