Title: Batteries

On a side note, the Production folks were very interested in my house lithium battery setup. They have debating on switching from lifelines to lithiums for a couple of years.
Ack! You have lithium batteries! I would have demanded a show and tell if I had known that. :) I'll have to arrange a visit when we are in Denver in June.  ^.^d

Darrell, which brand of batteries did you buy and did it include a BMS (battery monitoring system) to protect everything?  How big of a battery bank is it?

It is the brand sold by AM Solar. Yes, all lithiums require a BMS and currently they sell only 2 inverters that have the parameters that lithiums require also. I have 1400 amp hours, the largest they have sold to date. If you go to their website they have a short video showing my batteries.
