Am I dreaming or are some zeros missing somewhere ?

Hmm - let's see. 48V 800AH bank - 16 3V batteries - $32,000 - Far more
expensive than Surette, for some off-brand China battery. "Ohh, but it's
a Lithium off-brand China battery". With 750-1000 cycles life, just like
lead acid, so it's costing you about 6 times as much per
cycle/year/bank. Should be a lot of fun to get it recycled, too.

I'll pass.

I canceled the message two minutes after posting it. I didn't fully
realise it was 3.2V and not 12V. So it's 4 times more expansive and
heavier than I first thought. Sorry
