    Lithium Battery Pre-Assembled Enclosed Rack

    Hi MBB, Does anyone know where I can source one of these locally? Excluding the batteries of course, but something with the busbar installed in the cabinet itself. Would also consider building myself if needed.

    LiFePO4 Battery Supplier

    Hi All, Can you recommend a good local LiFePO4 battery supplier with competitive pricing, specifically the 100Ah and 200Ah 48V units? I have a few but most of them are importing so shipping times are around 2 months. J Edit: looking specifically at suppliers stocking locally.
