To me it looks like a much cheaper option if you compare it to something like a Tesla Powerwall or an LG Chem battery, with the added benefit of also having power expandability if you need to increase the storage at any point (again, at a cheaper price point). I saw this Bluetti AC300+B300 on sale for $1200 less, so I was wondering what do you guys think about the idea.

    I couldn’t find too many details about it on the website, but what’s the lifespan and expected usage pattern for these?

    Something like a Tesla powerwall is expected to be in constant use. Constant load either charging or powering a home. These products look like they’re marketed more like a backup battery in power outage or occasional camping usage. If you’re trying to get a backup power source as an alternative to a generator, seems fine. But without more info about the engineered goals, I’d be cautious about subjecting to regular load for years. It says it can handle 3500+ cycles on the battery, so that could last many years, depending on how you use it.
