Build your own solar battery, fast and cheap!

This was the fastest, and least expensive, DIY battery I've built. The modules have a thick aluminum case, housing 280Ah LiFePO4 cells. These might be the best option for building out your own solar battery bank. I'm re-using an old server rack, in a server cabinet, to house my batteries.

Server Rack batteries are a great choice if you don't want to DIY your own battery. I recommend the EG4 batteries from Signature Solar. Here is an affiliate link to the rack of batteries I use every day: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepo...
