Idiot's guide to a self build battery

[nowty]

The engineeringtoolbox.com site helped me with some tricky calculations regarding my "in water" sourced GSHP project.

Hey guys,
Back on the original topic of battery build.

Just purchased;

16x (1 spare) EVE 304s @ $113 p/u + $275 (delivery + import duty)+ $64 transaction fee (2.99%) + approx $40 exchange fees (£1844) from Deriy Technologies.
Bus bars and bolts come included

Asked them if they can fully balance the cells before shipping.

Hope to get on the bandwagon in 2 months time

The $275, what does that relate to?
Additionally, what's the situation regarding import duties on an order like this?
I've had mixed experiences when importing, including having to appeal multiple times to get a refund from HMRC when they charged tax on imported medical equipment.

Just updated my post, that £275 is shipping, import duty, customs etc (apparently) I understand from Joe that nothing else was payable on arrival

Impressive stuff! All of you trailblazers are starting to cause my credit card some mild concern!
Perhaps a 2023 upgrade project once funds allow.

nicely put! It all becomes quite casual with the larger volume of storage.

I have a friend looking to expand his 2 x US3500C setup next year, he's just confirmed interest in buying my three next year. Looks like my research may step up a notch!
As always, thanks to all of you for detailing your experiments, much appreciated.

That’s interesting pricing. My order was $107 per battery (15), but the shipping was slightly more expensive. Shipped today! Yippee ……

Hah, yeh the EVE 304s was $115 but the CATL 302s were out of stock and they gave me a $2 discount.

The CATL 302s would have been $107/8 each which I think would have been better value for money for same specs just 2Ah less
