Just gotto figure out a good place in the Pod to mount it.


Seriously, compared to other RV lithium ion battery setups, this thing is beautiful and, dare I say, cheap.

Fun stuff.

Fred,

You can say beautiful, but I don't think you're ready to say cheap. And this should start a whole new thread on how to attach things to RPOD walls.  Shocked

Yeah, Charlie. Might have to beef up the bathroom wall a bit to hang 220 pounds. Wink

I thought the announcement was interesting and will, no doubt, get some execs in the battery space scrambling a bit.

I'm sure there are others, but these guys may have some serious competition from Tesla:


For the time being, I'm super happy with my dual gc2 setup, but imagine battery options will grow substantially over the next few years.

Let's see:

Weight = 45% of 4 GC2s

Volume = 16% of 4 GC2s

Cost = just $3300

New converter/charger required

Now where's my check book? I hope they have them at Wally World.
