As all of our installations require either 24V or 48V, this does not look like a viable solution.

I think you are right.  No series strings.  Has to be due to equalization problems. Perhaps they all have internal impedance that varies significantly from battery to battery.
But internally, the battery is a series string of cells.
Perhaps someone can send a note to the manufacturer asking for an explanation.

“Do not use two or more batteries in series.”

Does that mean 2 is ok or not ok?  I’d read that as 2 is not ok.

Found this vendor.. pricing seems too good to be true. Not sure why they have the 2 units in series limitation however, that kinda blows the 48V solution. Going to order a couple samples for testing.

Not an answer to your question but FWIW I got some 12V/100AH batteries from Meritsun to use in a golf cart and those have worked very well so far.  These are wired in series to do 48V that the golf cart needs.

If anyone is using the lifepo4 rack mount batteries could you comment on which capacity you went with?

I'm trying to figure out which capacity is the best form factor in terms of weight size etc.

Strange that the 200ah unit is marginally larger but twice the weight. The 100ah unit just be partially empty inside.

                Chuck, something you may want to consider in your
                calculations is that I am comfortable taking LiFePO4
                batteries to 100% DOD, whereas I never go below 50% DOD
                for my AGM backup systems. I guess one could make a case
                that I’m not cycling my AGM systems very much, so I
                shouldn’t care about the huge cycle life penalties of
                100% DOD in which case your spreadsheet is still valid.

                But assuming we go with the 50% DOD argument, I can fit
                4x170Ah AGMs in the bottom of my racks:

                4x Deka 170Ah 12AVR1700-ET @ $495 = $1980 (120 lbs x 4 =
                480 lbs)

                @50% DOD = 4080Wh of storage in a package 22” deep and
                12.6” high or $.48/Wh

                The equivalent LiFePO4 new unit:

                1x MeritSun LFP100-48 Units = $2200 (138 lbs)

                @100% DOD = 4800Wh of storage in a package 16”deep and
                8.7” high or $.45/Wh

                So, my conclusion so far is if you are buying relatively
                expensive telecom rated AGM batteries and only going to
                50% DOD with them, you may be breaking even with LiFEPO4
                based systems.
