You can then hook up the power station to any 5.12V LiFePO4 battery of your choosing. I went with the UL1973/9540A listed Eco-Worthy 51.2V 100Ah Cubix 100, which I acquired from Eco-Worthy's official AliExpress store for $517 ($630 - $110 coupon - $2 perk). This battery has the same capacity as the B500K - 5.12 kWh, bringing the price to 10.1 cents/watt. In contrast, the B500K is 29.7 cents/watt, nearly 3x more expensive. The B500K does have electronic communication with the Bluetti power station, which should help keeping the external and internal batteries balanced. If using your own battery, you will also need a 58.4V battery charger so you can charge your DIY battery to 100% before connecting it to the Bluetti unit (which should also be charged to 100% first), but this is only around $100 and can be used for multiple batteries.
