Did I miss something ?
So you got around 25 packs (a hundred batteries in a bucket) and each
of them with 500 recharging cycles ?
That makes 12500 cycles in toto.
Round about 35 cycles per day. Where are standing all those chargers ?
Or lets say, with an average of 2000mAh per battery, 8Ah per set, that
makes 280 Ah per day.
With 1,2V each, that makes 336 Watt per day.
Are you powering your restaurant with those ?
