Question LiFePO4 Cost Differences

[Texas Clodhopper]

I see 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries priced at $150 - $950 and they have similar warrantees and similar cycles, whats the difference?

I'm sure there's folks much smarter than me but when I was shopping for LiFePo4 battries, I asked similar questions. Some of the differences I was able to determine were build quality, lithium cell quality, cell count, cycle count, recharge time, inverter/converter compatibilty, BMS (some are bluetooth), BMS controlled heating pads for colder climates, where/who made them which translates to ease of warranty claim if needed. After several telephone converstations with Xantrex and Battleborn tech support (their customer service and tech support is second to none!) I bought four 100ah Battleborn which are now connected to my Xantrex Freedom 458 and fed by 1600 watts of solar on the roof.

There is a geeky guy who tears down boxes to see how they are made. Real interesting. It will help you see the differences.
