For a 16S string to get a nominal voltage of 51.2v the would cost would be $1343.68.
51.2v x 271 Ah = 13.87 kWh (3.2v x 271 Ah per cell x 16 cells = 13,875Wh).
So at $1343.68 for 13.8kWh of power = $96.84 per kWh which is very cheap but where lithium is headed over the long term....downwards in price and we are already seeing this in the reduced cost of the Pylontechs.
The thing is, these are on Alibaba and its FULL of scams. There must be some legitimate sellers as well - but how to find the good ones?
There is the cost of freight to add to these cells - they are duty free and zero rated for VAT. So to this we need to add a BMS and i would use Battrium which is expensive for sure but also good.
I am guessing this would all come out to around $150ish per kWh, so attractive.
But how to find a good seller in China where you get the product you pay for with no scams or rip-offs?
