Another BIG fan of the HUP batteries, however at this moment I'm moving to IBE as HUP has recently had massive price increases that IBE did not seem to do. For a 1690 Ah pack the HUP is almost $1000 more. I'm not convinced the HUP's are that much better than the IBE's anymore. A year ago the price spread was very close.
Anyone think the HUP is worth about 30% more than IBE?
Personally, I prefer as few parallel strings as possible and will go to great efforts to move the heavy beasts once every 15- 20 years and keep 'em as big as possible. My last HUP install was in Panama on a remote island, each 1690Ah pack is 1260 pounds and we moved 16 sets into a basement down stairs and around a corner and up over two 12" curbs. We had quite the set-up to do this from chain hoists to actual rail tracks and LOT's of men! Man it takes a lot of beer to move these things.
Have fun and use your head not your back!!!!
