Re: CAN to NMEA2000 motor data

Eric, I just bought a 48v pack (270 ah cells around 13 kwh total) with bms, bus bars, and shipping for approximately $3k. They'd probably be less cause the shipping was to the USVI to my off grid house. A friend bought the same last year and they've worked well so far. They do come on the very slow boat from China so about 4 months lead time. But cost maybe half of a few years ago?
I did buy the Hang Kai 1.2 electric outboard last year on aliexpress and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived 3 months later. Looks well made but the Chinglish owner's manual says "Do not use in rain". I'm building a 12 foot dinghy to put it on will let the group know how it works when we hit the water.?

Are LiFePO4 prices actually coming down? ?What did you pay for your installed batteries? ? I purchased 8kWh batteries new in 2009. ?The sixteen Thunder Sky TS-LFP160AHA 160Ah cells, including purchase price, tax, shipping to my driveway, inter-cell braided connectors, and autonomous mini-MBS boards were right around $3600 or about $0.45 per Wh. ?The bare cells were $3326.60 delivered. ?The connectors and BMS boards came from another vendor. ?None of my recent research has come up with a comparable price, let alone cheaper. People keep saying that our batteries are getting cheaper, but 10 years after I bought mine, I¡¯m not seeing it.
