A lot depends on whether you are looking for individual LiFePO4 Cells or a whole 12V/24V/48V battery with integrated BMS? "Reasonable" is also a rather relative term! 😀.

"Reasonable" is also a rather relative term! 😀. Well I'd like to build my own battery bank, so I'm looking for individual LiFePO4 cells and a (possibly DALY brand) bms. I'm hoping I can build something a bit cheaper than a Pylontech module and will also have a bit more flexibility with sizing it correctly
February 3, 20215 yr There is a guy in Stellenbosch who advertises on Facebook marketplace called Dricus Pretorius that claims to sell them, I have not dealt with him. I looked at his pictures and it looks like he is copying Lithium Batteries SA or buying from them and reselling. I bought mine directly from Lithium batteries SA. They delivered to my door.

I was hoping there was an alternative to ordering from Joburg, but ordering from someone local via FB marketplace might also have some risks 6 minutes ago, Louisvdw said: If you are using a Victron system, then go check out my BMS battery driver. I'm using 24V Mecer (Axpert), would it work for that?
