    48v MPPT charger >=250v panels

    I've been looking for an MPPT charger that can move ~2 kw from panels >=250v to charge a 48v lifepo4 bank. Are there many units that do just this task? I'm shy of the all-in-one units since my 5048GK died for no clear reason. I think I saw a Victron one for ~$1k, but are there any for ~$500...

    Why are 12v lifepo4's cheaper than individual cells? What's the catch?

    G'day So I want to put together a 5 kw/hr 48v system with lifepo4 batteries and the all-in-one 5kwmppt/charger/ups/inverter(ebay item132735948201) I'm weighing up between: - getting 4x 12v ~100a/hr batteries for ~AUD$500 each, cutting open each one, taking out the BMS and using a seperate...
