On-grid domestic battery storage

Starfrog

 Seems that I’m off to a good start on the coast of Lochinver the snow doesn't tend to hang around looks like it might be a good day as it’s the array is already dumping power back into the batteries and the grid at the moment

Interesting, I have 2 x Aoboet batteries could i just add two pylontec batteries to the mix ? They look exactly the same and are the same type and specification ? 

I've been told they're not cross-compatible. 

Damn then I need to see where i can source another pair, seems right though as i read that they appear to be able to discharge to a lower rate than some others. But I’ll need to find some then.

According to the blurb, you should be getting a max of 3.5kw charge/discharge with 2 of those batteries.
With 2 Pylontechs, you would only get 2.4kw.

Ahh my apologies,  I assumed.. silly me. 
The default is pylontech,  and I assumed you also had pylontech,  I dont know how the aoboet batteries work, nor how stackable they are, id guess you would have to phone Michael/Jake to ask them.

EVandPV yeah I have about 8" of snow, I'm getting zero solar today

That's a very interesting link.
So they can do 3.5kw, and will work down to 0 degrees.
And list as max 8 on a lux system.
Micky may well want to sell his pylons (really cheaply to me 😂😂) and buy some aoboet batteries to reduce the restriction on temperature. 
I wonder how they compare on price??

Why not just buy me a set of these and I will deliver my pylons round to your place FOC

Micky you are so kind to offer to do this free of charge
