    The battery looks interesting but has some problems. From what I've read, it tends to use up the water in the electrolyte fairly quick by splitting into hydrogen and oxygen. Also, It's working voltage is ~1.2v but it needs 1.6v (1.65v if added lithium) to take a change? The inverter I'm leaning towards now, GTIL2000, for low cost and simple connection has an input range of 45v-90v. When using a 48v LFoP battery, it only can produce about 1300w. With a 72v, it's around 1700w according post on a solar forum. One of these batteries with enough sells to put the charge voltage just below 90v with give me a battery that only has about 60v when no solar to charge it. That would really cripple the inverter. Here is a few videos of someone messing with this battery making his own electrodes and a gell electrolyte in an effort to improve the battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaOzDt83XWY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mYaei0O1sU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjoxC4kwA9I

    Re: New member introduction thread! Hi, I am vesko. Not very intuitive how to introduce myself, but I hope that by touching Al over the previous screen, this is the place. Anyway. I am a retired electronic HW/SW engineer. Have all the time for my own projects. Independent living is my highest priority and I am ready and willing to put my time, money and efforts to achieve that goal and possibly help others along the way. I bought a house in the boonies, I had a water well drilled. I am designing and implementing my oven silt filtration system that doesn’t need to buy and replace filters, chemicals etc. only if something breaks I need to repair/replace it. I installed solar system. Prefer water turbines, but it’s a much more complicated project, so solar is an imperfect but fast solution. Not very happy with the price of lithium batteries “lease” they call it purchase. It’s not a purchase / it’s a 10-15 years lease. So, looking forward to be battery independent
