You should be aware, that bigbattery.com is selling _used_ batteries.  For example the 24v "powerwall"  3KWh unit for $699 is a used unit per Will Prowse.   His testing showed 67% degradation from new.  What the cycle life of a 67% depleted battery array is unknown..

                    Guys, every chemistry of lithium battery (lifepo4,
                    li-ion, lto, etc) are available in 1 to 10 KW
                    modules at less than $100 a kilowatt hour most of
                    them test between 70 to 99% of the rated capacity
                    mostly removed from electric vehicles anyways we
                    repurpose them into storage for our equipment you
                    just need a 48 volt BMS to balance the cells and
                    provide low temperature and low voltage protection.
