Has anyone used these batteries? FOX ESS LV2600 48v 2.56kWh.

I've gotten myself a nice 48v inverter and these seem like a better idea than 4x lead batteries if I consider the price difference.. I dunno if I'm missing any other options but I can't seem to find any other lithium battery packs in the same price range.

Second question would be, has anyone used: https://thepowerstore.co.za/ before? Are they legit? Most places I've found so far seem to have the above mentioned battery listed as "out of stock" whereas these guys are showing 26 in stock?

Thanks.

I'd stay away from that specific battery. I've just had issues with mine. Used with a Kodak inverter. Supplier support (Segensolar) also slow and not very helpful.

Can't comment on the online store.

Hmm, thanks. I guess there must be a reason it's a lot cheaper.

It's overpriced for what it is (a 2nd life battery).

That may be, I was only considering it vs a lead battery and based on the advertised specs. Assuming it could really give 4000 cycles it seems much better than lead acid. I could of course spend R20k plus and arguably get even better long term value, but well then I have to spend R20k+. :unsure:
