Plus, around $200 still isn't bad.

Don't listen to Shorai, they don't know your use case. They assume you have some SUV with massive amounts of electronics. A Braille battery will have the exact same issues as the Shorai. The only difference is Braille takes the same type of atv batteries Shorai uses, relabels them, and doubles the price. The company that makes Braille batteries is called Deka, and you can buy the exact same battery for a ton less without the fancy Braille name.
