Ok how would you build a real life unit of aa or d batteries 1400 amp hours 48 v? You can buy a surrete rolls set for about $12000 with 80%depth of discharge with 5000 charge cycle life flooded lead acid…. how are you going to lithium that? Small packs ok large ones tech is not there Ballard has huge city storage devices using lithium at 700,000 for one with 10 year warrantee. It’s size 4x4x6 feet and 6 tons. Has massive fire warning as in lithium if caught on fire can split water and increase the fire.
This doesn’t happen? Lithium batteries are banned from planes, the cellphone fires are from lithium batteries.
When building solar you are talking 7to10 year payback, life of system is 25. Now ask yourself how cheap do you want to go and still think you will make pay back? Cheap is not the solution if you want it to work for the 25 years. Name one tool that last that long you buy cheap? One electronic device? One mechanical? So cheap does not work, buy quality it will keep you satisfied long after the joy of a cheap price and constant problems begin.
Batteries in my workshop 48v 1400 ex surette rolls no worries on off gassing I have a wood heated shop.
