I am a first time visitor to your channel and also a novice to solar power technology. But I have been looking for cheaper alternatives of solar power backup system that could serve my needs. This project seemed interesting but overwhelming with the lack of upfront total cost of the build and how much one is saving using this method. Plus the $0.24/wh terminologies is confusing for someone who is not a techie. I was just hoping to see the cost in simple English to help me understanding if this suits my needs. The video is great but always consider non techies who just want to compare and contrast and if they are interested they would dig deeper through all the affiliate and discounted links provided. All I am saying is, include total cost in plain English like I would find on Amazon rather than only the $0.13/wa terminologies. Thanks 🙏🙏

This would be an interesting comparison vs the XZNY 280ah battery you can purchase for $0.10 per wh right now. It also comes with a 200amp BMS and high quality cells that tested around 292ah in my discharge test.

The sales that WattCycle runs can bring their price down to 13–15¢/Wh. It becomes kind of a tricky value proposition, although DIY is always more fun.

Better to use wood or composite / pvc decking board? What's least likely to burn... We need a Rockwood based composite board that won't burn

Still wondering why you do not top or bottom balance the cells. I thought balancing was needed for diy batteries. Thank you.

I built a cheap high performance DIY 12V LiFePO4 battery, watch here: https://youtu.be/MSABYAhzA3g
See lots of battery options and discounts on my website here: projectswithdave.com/batteries/
These are the low cost batteries I used, including a 5% discount with my affiliate links:
280Ah EVE LF280K cells: www.xintechpro.com/product/lf280k-lifepo4-battery-…
314Ah EVE MB31 cells: www.xintechpro.com/product/eve-mb31-314ah-3-2v-lif…
The the 280Ah cells exceeded their capacity in my 12V build test setup shown below. They are currently available in stock in the US. There is a $30 transaction fee, but the taxes and shipping are included. Hope this helps with your builds! Comment below if you have any issues.
