Each of the 4 batteries is about 60lb. So the whole setup after completion (inverter included)will be about 260-280 lb, mounting on a Costco Trinity cart with wheels for mobility.
800 on amazon - so with cash back that's coming in under $150/Kwh

"Because they should all pull the same exact figures, and it should be 103-110Ah. That is the issue"
I really didn't know that there is an unwritten rule that a 100ah rack battery should return 103-110ah capacity.
Again, I'm not disputing if the cells are grade A or B or how long it will last.
The main issue is capacity and he's nitpicking the shit out of it for no reason.
Batteries should always have more capacity than their actual rating, other manufacturers do this, so yes, it absolutely should be marked down for not competing with the industry.
If you watched the video, at the end he did actually state that it was still worth the money, even accounting for less capacity than the others. However, I don't think he was actually critical enough on how bad they were with the BMS temperature sensors and how they were "attached".
Great price though for what you get. A good $700 less than eg4.
Example: I've bought a single battery from Eco worthy, it exceeds capacity. So: Failure rate of 0%. Should I trust this? Good companies do QA testing in mass scale: hundreds, thousands, or more units.
Just felt like dropping some basic statistics here…. 😁

That is why you see huge price difference between the battery together with solar system vs this type of system. Most people who bought this battery use it as off-grid system. You can, however, connect off-grid system to your home via a transfer switch (this is what people with generator do). Look it up if that is what interests you.

But the bigger problem is that this battery holds about $2 worth of electricity. If you charge it and discharge it over and over again, it'll start holding less and less. You'll probably end up spending more on the battery than you'd save on electricity.
