This was my thinking as well.. With my AGM setups I’m not comfortable pushing beyond 60% DOD.. I’m also paying a lot for 10-year rated large Ah AGM batteries these days.

Tripling the batteries will put you up to somewhere around $4500, for basically the same kWh, but if you factor in being able to 100% discharge the Tesla setup, you're going to need to add a bunch more battery. I wonder how the life expectancy compares...

When I backed out the costs for 14kWh of our standard AGM cells and inverter, I think this price is quite reasonable. � https://www.tesla.com/powerwall � Peter Kranz www.UnwiredLtd.com <http://www.unwiredltd.com/> Desk: 510-868-1614 x100 <tel:510-868-1614%20x100> Mobile: 510-207-0000 <tel:510-207-0000> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> �
