<div dir="ltr">Howie, I'm fully in your court. Just today I replaced 2000 pounds of 18 year old HUPs with 1800 pounds of... HUPs. It's a full rebuild of a 24v system from the mid-80s, and the scales on a system that vintage couldn't justify a 48v system. </div>
<div dir="ltr">I have asked Blue Planet more than once if they plan to one day develop a 24v Blue Zion package, and the answer has each time been no. So I'd like to hear if there's a 24V option of equal quality and BMS sophistication. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks!</div>

<div>I get what you are saying Jerry, but this client ( a retiring teacher in a very rural, low wage school district, sadly) has lived very lightly off-grid (1kW solar, 24v Rolls KS21s original batteries) for 18 years years and has no pressing need to upgrade his VFX3524 inverter. I'd rather find a good 24volt option to compare a straight KS21 replacement to. I know the inverter could crap out at any time, but if it ain't broke...</div>

<div dir="auto">Dollars and sence, drop the 24 volt, BPI is a great battery. Once l show my customers all the benefits of a 48 volt upgrade it wins every time. I am not talking about busses, RV's and one night stands l am talking about off grid homes. </div>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div>I've been using BlueIon batteries recently both on- and off-grid, and really like them so far, although I have limited time on them so not a ton of experience yet. I am wondering what folks are liking for 24 v LiFePO4 battery options. I have 24 volt off-grid clients who are not ready to swap out to 48v, but might be interested in Lithium batteries. TIA,</div>
<div>Howie</div>
