[QUOTE="TaylorFade, post: 8412426, member: 618111"] I get messages every day about different lithium batts. The important thing to note for our use is the discharge and recharge rates. A BMS robust enough to handle the amount of current that we use would literally cost as much as the battery itself. The batt you linked has a decent recharge if that's a constant rate, but a lot of us have alts bigger than 180A. FWIW... XS Power actually started that company and sold off the rights when Scottie decided the market wouldn't support $1,500 batteries. With the success of the JuiceBox... he reworked the BMS and got the price "reasonable" for the performance you get. His "15k" batt is around the same price as the JB but a little less capable. But it has a full BMS and balancing.
