Old Don wasn't born yesterday. Money IS an object. No science experiments or science fiction for me.
Lip action ?
Capacity is capacity. People normally want cheaper is better.
Old Bill doesn't try to sell anything.
So you don't like $200 per kWh with years of warranty.
That's your business - not mine.
Other than checking in a few times per year I don't care too much.

Why waste time.
I said Rolls so naturally the price is Rolls.
Where your 4 years warranty ?
How many prorated years?
He he he.
I needs 3 years full warranty - then 7 more. Makes 10 years.
Remember, old Bill know how they do
All I've seen from Lithium is Lip action and strokin.
Why you so scared of AHI.

I totally agree with you there, and with that said the last thing they would buy is Aquion as it is the most expensive option. If I going to spend a premium on a battery, I want to be able to use all that capacity, not just the top 60 to 65%. Kind of like a house, I would not buy one if I can only use 60% of it. I want what I paid for.
Now you are blowing smoke. $200/Kwh is high end FLA like Rolls. You are not even going to get Aquion to return your phone call for less than $480/Kwh.Comment

Aquion Energy, AHI Batteries ?
Are you saying Aquion Energy can't be my man ?

We still made it through the night with Hair dryers, microwave, 3 refrigerators, the jacuzzi running for an hour, our infrared sauna running 2 hours, lights on in every room. The washing machines (2) gets started before we start recharging. Still stayed above 50% SOC. using the old 1gen Aquions.AlmostOffGridHawaiianComment

If you compare Apples to Apples of usable capacity at real world discharge rates it takes 312 AH of Aquion to equal 125 AH of FLA to 40 volts on a 48 volt setup.
It would take 6 stacks of Aquion S20 stacks weighing 1500 pounds filling a room, costing almost $7000, and a 2 year warranty. Or say 4 Trojan 30H 12 volt 135 AH 5 year warranty battery weighing a total of 250 pounds and total cost of $800.
Does that get your attention?MSEE, PEComment
