Lion 105Ah LiFePO4 for $690 at Costco

[Jack]

Costco is now selling the Lion 105Ah battery. The cells are prismatic (not cylinders) so it is a lot smaller and lighter than the BB. You either have to go to Costco (see listing for when they will be available at various Costco stores: https://www.costco.com/lion-energy-schedule.html) or follow the QR code below and enter the item # to order online. They are also selling a portable 100W 24V panel for about $300. Works only if you have installed 24 panels in parallel or have 2 12V panels in series.

Frank was the rep I talked to in PDX and I assume he gets a commission if you follow this QR code, but I have no connection with him or Lion.

is there any drawback to the prismatic?
