Besides the better warranty, the HUP cells are not welded together,
but have removable buss bars, that allow individual cells to be
replaced or for moving.
My supplier shows higher cost and lower cycle life for the IBEs as
well. (2100 cycles for HUP vs. 1500 cycles, both at 80% DOD)
What other factors are making you consider them? I used to use
Bulldogs before HUP dropped their pricing a few years ago. The
Bulldogs are rated similar to the IBEs, and after 10 years, all is
well so far with those installs.

I used IBE years ago, at the time they were about the best that I
could
find. I switched to HUP Solar One batteries. If you compare the
specs the
HUP has a larger reservoir, and a 10 year warranty, they are
designed for
off grid, see web site. Sold by North West Energy Storage.
I have used the HUP's for 15+ years and all are still in service and
healthy. 98% of my off grid clients use them and all are happy
customers.

Have any of you used the IBE batteries? What has your experience

them?
Thanks in advance,
