Lithium Batteries [ Group Buy ]

Damn, did I get here too late? Has the ordering windows passed or can get in on this?

So bottom line is even after being careful I get 100kWh / day.
I'll go buy some energy meters and see how it goes.

I can see this happening quite easily. My house is less than half the size of your's. I've got LED's all over. Gas hob. - Still use a normal oven though and only 1 of my geysers is solar and I pull 40kWh to 50kWh in winter per day. Maybe 30-ish over non winter months.

I plan to change the domestic's stove to gas and and install 3x20l gas geysers instead of my 2x200l geysers (1 solar). So I'm hoping with this that I drop my usage down to 35kWh in winter and 20 max in summer.

I think after some roof insulation I'll drop the winter usage even further. I bought one of those effergy meters 3 years or so ago but have not plugged it in over a prolonged period. I think I'll do so next week see exactly what my usage is. But being on prepaid I can easily calculate a rough average. (or I can just take note of the amount on the prepaid meter this week and then again next week. - lol)

Well I'm puzzled too - why does everybody think something's using too much electricity?

I live alone, no live in domestic, gas hob, highest rated electricity efficient washing machine 2/3 loads per week, dishwasher 2/3 times a week, pool pump 6 hrs per day, 3 LED garden lights on 8 hours at night.

2 x TVs, 1 x router, fridge.

The geysers in a very warm ceiling so that's only on for an hour or 2 every day.

Only have lights on when I'm in the room.

Usage 25kWh per day in summer.
 
Not sure what R/$ rate op used but his prices will shoot up by at least 30% ...
 
I'm postponing for other people for now as the response has been a little low (doesn't make sense for me to hassle for others initially).
Will be shipping in some for myself for testing around September though assuming I get the paperwork sorted.
 
What does the Omnipower powerbank cost. Maybe it would be worth it if imported cells are so expensive?
 
What about Byd batteries? They sell more electric cars than Telsa and they also make the safe LiFePO4 batteries.
