I have been looking at Balqon's web store for a few months now, and all I can see is the 1000AH cells for $1000 apiece with no mention of connectors or BMS being included. May I ask, how did you purchase yours? Is there somebody specific to ask for that is in the know? I don't want to be rude, so since this is my first post and by way of introduction;

Greetings all! I want to say that although we don't have a Newell coach, I have walked through a few and admired their build quality at Motorhomes of Texas
I have searched off and on for a long time and this is only the second hands-on do it yourself install of this technology I have come across (the first being Technomadia) I have a keen interest in increasing our usable off grid power and have joined this forum in search of more first hand information on the topic of Lithium Iron Phosphate battery installs.
We have a 36' 99' Foretravel (tiny by Newell standards, to be sure, but it does get us into state parks and the like where space is limited). I have upgraded (or am in the process of upgrading) various systems in our coach with an eye to off grid camping as well as all round improved functionality wherever possible. I am installing 832 watts of flexible peel and stick panels, a Midnight Solar Classic charge controller, a Magnum MSH3012M inverter/125amp Charger, and various supporting components before I change out the batteries (2 MK 8D Gels). I want to get all the systems working together and learn how to tweak everything before inserting these expensive 1000AH cells into the matrix.

I don't mean to be a forum crasher, but my perusal of this forum shows it to be as welcoming of other brand or even types of RV enthusiasts as any that I have seen. After all, we face many common problems and solutions no matter the make or genre of our chosen conveyance...
