Interesting indeed! I have a truck camper being delivered in 60 days or so. There seems to be 2 versions of the 300 ah batteries, $1100 for the “basic” one including heating and a 200 BMS. Also a 300ah with heating, 300 BMS, and Victron communication ports,(whatever that means) for $1200. The form factor is especially appealing to me as to fit one into a small 2 battery camper compartment. Weight is 58 and 65lbs. respectively, shipping is $80 from Georgia to Oregon for the lighter one.

I have been looking at the SOK 280 as well. Which would you choose?

wow 1200 with comms, epoch for sure!

 

[Alkaline]

dang $75.00 shipping... still not a bad deal.

Have a look at this in the UK ...... do the specs match up, albeit at a higher price? They look very similar ...

Is there a typo on the spec sheet? Says max continuous discharge amps 300A, but max continuous power Watts is 2560W?

The drift pro states specifically the cell model and manufacturer and BMS brand. Epoch seems like a black box with no further information

haha perhaps.
Designed can be different than engineered.
One can engineer the battery components and the design team may design the package it comes in.
Or the decals on the outside. ?

Heads up, Epoch is having a 20% off sale for Black Friday. Use code BF2023 at checkout. That makes the basic 300AH battery $879. Looks like it doesn't apply to the one with comms.

 

[G8trwood]

Out of stock, but interesting battery

 

[Rocksnsalt]

Well, there’s also this one…
12.8V/460AH / 5.888kwh in a 20.9 x 12.1 x 8.7“ package. Self heated, bluetooth, and Victron comms.
It seems the direction batteries are going is getting better and better by the month.

wow 1200 with comms, epoch for sure!

Can you eli5 what the coms do? I have a small 12v Victron system with a non-comm battery. What would the advantage be with the comms?

 

[Alkaline]

It would talk with the inverter like victron and give more information such as state of charge, voltages of each cell, much more info than just voltage.

You'd need to have a Victron multiplus or Quattro to get battery comms.

Ah, OK, thanks for that clarification. I have neither of those.

 

[JeromeS13]

I ordered two of the non-comm 300AH units with the black friday 20% off to replace my existing 100AH batteries in my Class B van. Slight modification was required, but I have them fitting in the original battery box. I'm very happy to have tripled my capacity and still have all of my storage space.
