I have 8 of these 12V (nom) modules, made up into 2 x 48V battery banks. They have Delgreen balancers fitted. These banks plus my old 16 cell Winston 200Ah bank supply all my power requirements. They are not pampered, often subjected to charging of 100A+ or similar discharge (shorter duration). But rarely discharged below 75%. They are holding up well so far. I did look at the much cheaper battery packs but am glad I chose the more expensive ones though, being from a local supplier, I could pick them up and save shipping costs.
