I have two Yixiang power 16kwh wallmount batteries ($2200 each). The 32kwh battery is $3699. They work remarkably well and have EVE LFP cells and a JK bms. They are not UL listed, so keep that in mind. My system uses a more expensive SolArk 18k inverter, and these two batteries easily power my whole house through the night, even this time of year. It's not enough to be off grid 100% of the time, but where I live, it's probably close to 80% of the time.

Yes it does. It's the "51.2V Vertical Battery Pack" with the 314 Ah EVE cells. I have two of them connected in parallel, communicating with my Sol-Ark 18k inverter via a standard Pylontech protocol for closed-loop communication. Maybe I confused you by describing it as a "wall mount"? The vertical batteries are very often wall mounted. I should have just said "vertical" instead. Anyway, they have been fantastic batteries. Two in parallel can discharge roughly 19kW of power continuously, which is more than enough to power all of the big loads in my home at the same time. The only downside of the batteries is you have to configure the JK BMS yourself. But there's a lot of community resources for that: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1szaRxYzBHxwairtpCBBF...
