Which server rack battery has fewest issues: SOK, Trophy, or Jackiper?

[Lt.Dan]

I only have experience with the SOK, was $1100 and I picked-up myself from the seller. I am abusing it in my golf cart with occasional 100+amp shutdowns and bouncing along the road. I have not managed to destroy it [yet?].
Upside: modular case and terminals are bolted. Very easy to reconfigure, or replace bad cells, should you have the need.
Downside: no Bluetooth on the BMS. There are communications however I have no desire to connect.

There is bluetooth on the cheaper NCBT version. But the BMS is only rated at 80a, instead of the 100a on the Pro.

A pair of them for 160A would have been a better option for my usage. But I understand they are discontinued.

Wow, these look awful familiar... https://sungoldpower.com/products/48v-100ah-server-rack-lifepo4-lithium-battery-sg48100p

If I were buying a server rack, I'd likely go with SOK based off all the positive feedback here and previous pleasant transactions with Current Connected. First I'd try to buy a case only and put my own rack battery together.

Spelling edit.

The LVGOO are missing a couple of RS485 ports and do not appear to have to RS232 port.

I believe but am not certain that the SOK and SunGoldPower batteries are pretty much the same and they both use the same monitoring software

It was just out of stock and mislabelled. It's coming back soon I believe.

Why would a firmware update be necessary? I mean like everything else if it’s not broken why fix it? In my line of work the enemy of good is better

Firmware updates may be necessary when new batteries with new firmware are added to an existing battery stack with older firmware. Will they play well together, particularly in closed loop

The SOK NCBT battery is definitely not discontinued. Its a very popular model from what I understand.

Looks like an SOK or SunGoldPower battery. The display even has all the same menu items. Does the manufacturer provide any monitoring software?

Mines still on the boat but I anticipate connecting it to a Cerbo and monitoring from there/VRM.

It actually looks more like a Trophy battery than an SOK, SunGold, or Jakiper...
