<br>
I’m<br>
Looking for recommendations for a lithium battery. 48v.  150-200 kWh. <br>
System is probably going to be open comm, as the system has outback equipment. That could change but probably not. <br>
Remote monitoring is required even though it is a site with people 24/7. <br>
<br>
So far fortress and home grid. Have been recommended to look at. <br>
Blue planet is just too expensive. <br>
<br>
And PS. Fortress says that you cannot add batteries after 1 year. This goes against everything I thought I understood about lithium. <br>
Any comments about why they say that? <br>
Do others say rhat?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance <br>
<br>
Jay<br>
