[RE-wrenches] 24 volt LiFePO4 Battery options

[Allan Sindelar]

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. 
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. 
Thanks!

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...

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,
