Aldi in Australia are selling LiFEPO4 100amp batteries in one of their specials.
The battery has an internal BMS with no blue tooth.
This special is part of their camping range.
100Ah Lithium-Ion Battery
I note on the website it says they have had shipping delays - this is not evident in Sydney, camping was last week and there were a couple of batteries on the shelves today (I assume left over from last week). Pricing seems attractive, compared to other similar batteries (the exchange rate is roughly 2:1, so the batteries cost around stg225, including our 10% sales tax roughly stg25 cheaper than I haver seen elsewhere. To me, for application where the requirement is an independent source of power, (totally off grid) the batteries are a bit small.
I'll leave it to other to underline the potential danger of a battery with an inability for the owner to monitor and modify the BMS.
