48V Budget Batteries
These batteries carry some risk. They may test very nicely and have fantastic hardware when I test them, but that can change at any time. Because they are not certified, the company can change cells or bms whenever they feel like it. What you see in my reviews may not be what you get when you order them. They are very popular and they usually work very well, but you will never know what youre actually getting. One more thing, if a fire is caused by these batteries, most home insurance will not cover the damages. Yikes!

This has to be the best bang for the buck on the market. Fraction of the price of the competitors, high quality cells and lots of safety features. These batteries have been the most popular on my site for about a year.
- EVE Cells! Best on the market
- Massive bus bars
- 3X over current protection devices: A fuse, DC rated circuit breaker and the BMS over current protection.
- Takes one hour to build
- Closed loop communication that works with any inverter around
- JK BMS. Very customizable and DIY friendly
- Fire extinguisher built in
- Large color display
These things are great. I just do not understand how they are so cheap.
$2,139 16kWh Yixiang Horizontal
Same battery as the one above:
- EVE Cells! Best on the market
- Massive bus bars
- 3X over current protection devices: A fuse, DC rated circuit breaker and the BMS over current protection.
- Takes one hour to build
- Closed loop communication that works with any inverter around
- JK BMS. Very customizable and DIY friendly
- Fire extinguisher built in
- Large color display
But this one you can stack! If you are constrained on space, this is the way to go. In the same foot print and height, this battery can store 4X the capacity! It is absolutely insane. The horizontal and vertical models are the most popular battery on my website.
$3,699 Yixiang 32kWh
This battery is not for everyone just because of the sheer weight alone. Energy density wise, it is fantastic. But 600 lbs is no joke. I use a forklift to move mine around. Works great and I did a cycle test with it. If you have a stationary system that you do not plan to move for a long time, you can use this battery.
