Except it's literally how tesla builds their cars. Their batteries are built literally with 18650 or 32650 cells. I realize it's dangerous (I mean electricity and fire are lol) but it's not like I wouldn't be using spacers and proper wiring. (I did forget to ask about gauge of wiring) I want full electric. I'd rather not destroy and pollute more than we already do. I mean, we have a giant nuclear constant reactor in the sky and we burn old dinosaurs instead. K.

Not portable at all. Shielded and bolted down with easy access for maintenance. Proper ventilation. This is more of a stupid pipe dream than anything. But the only reason youtubers, myself or anyone is considering this is because I can create a battery 10x cheaper and with more capacity than anything out there. A jackery 2000 with the max solar array is 3x more expensive than my Frankenstein and twice the solar power.

See larger comment. It's a third the cost. If that. 270 (to make it round) 18650 cells from the biggest distributor of them is 500 bucks. It's literally how tesla stays competitive because they literally use small rechargeable batteries to create larger cells instead of buying them. They make their own 18650 and 32650 cells

Thank you for your response. I was planning on LiPo from the get go. I've heard a lot of good things about them and few negatives. And before I sound like an idiot, I completely agree with every point you made. The issue that completely throws logic out the window though, (any my downvotes lol probably) is pricing. I wouldn't be here frankly if I hadn't already looked into that. In terms of cost, this project would cost me 2000 bucks max with 1000W worth of solar panels. The base Jackery 2000 (which is smaller in capacity to my proposed abomination) is still north of that price point. The full specs of what I would build for less than 2k would cost over 6k with them. (My reference is the jackery 2000 with 1200W of panels. Apparently their panels are made of gold and ambrosia or shit) and you may not think I am a dumb ass, but dumb ass question. Other than the fact I have no experience, how does building a battery pack out of individual cells scare you? You drive next to one every day. Tesla uses 18650 batteries in early models and now has switched to 32650 and larger batteries but that's literally what they used and stitched together lol. (I do know they use their own and manufactured cells)

Solar. Anywhere from 1000-2500w depending on budget. The general idea is tiny home+super insulation+ small heater and AC. I'm aiming for the completely unrealistic effort of a 250w heater and ac. (Not combined) that's why I'm aiming for 300w, so I can run either max power (low-power max power you will) and still be "good". The rest of the power will be stored for fridge, lights, etc. (The general basic WH/T variable shit I get, just not conversions because my autismo brain goes brrrr)
