[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8736981, member: 614752"] The Jim's terminals look nice. I've seen them in person. I think I've seen another brand and China sells some cheaper options that should be serviceable for bussing at your intended current demand but I'm not sure who re-sells in the states. Wolfram did several group buys on those cells so perhaps he is still running those or just re-selling the cells? I know Droppin Hertz website sells them but you will get zero service after the fact from him if anything goes wrong so I'd advise against doing business there. From what my guy in China told me the 35AH cells that have been going around out of "car audio" brands are all B-stock, which are supposedly fine unless you're trying to series up past 100V but I suspect those re-sellers aren't saying b-stock yet charging normal price. B stock cells can still be had for about the cost I paid per amp hour back a few years ago. 80AH should be safe, 120 would be really solid. Keep in mind LTO are meant to last 10-20 years so comparing with say 4 good quality 100AH AGM type batteries every 4-5 years to support a 5K buying into 120AH once is still a good value over the long haul.... and you really can't put a price on weight and space savings. 6S bank is the size of a 6 pack of pounder beer cans. I'd definitely vouch for the SFB8000. Probably the best price to performance ratio of the lineup and at the price, why wouldn't you buy one? [/QUOTE]
