Train?
Would that be the China - Duisberg ( Belt-and-Road ) railway ?

Possibly, there is more than one option.

Well, I went for 2 lots of the V4 kit with the 280Ah B cells, got an extra 5% off, so £2658 for 28.7kWh of storage, which swayed me to place the order this morning, delivery next Thursday! :) Can't wait to get the build going. Compared to what I paid for the first 4 Pylontechs I bought 3.5years ago, its ridiculous value!

Next is getting the current Pylontech stack/shelf taken apart and moved out of the way, and then possibly some kind of new insulated enclosure for these 2 new cases. I think there are some settings within each batteries BMS to change too for the exact cells/alarms/protections, need to narrow that down as its not easy information to find and pin down. Any pointers from previously experienced folk would be lovely! ;)

Hmmmmmmm, those two units would fit snugly in my utility room if I took out the obsolete gas boiler, not used it in nearly 2 years now. :shock:

Another 30+ kWh :mrgreen: , I'd better sleep on it. :SOS:
