[RE-wrenches] Lithium battery recommendation

[Carl Hansen]

  Peter,

   I've also installed a few EG4 rack battery systems, they are working 
out well, tech support is easy to reach, not problems so far, customers 
like the price point. Standard 10 year warranty, company seems pretty 
solid, easy to communicate with.
