Looking for a new install, maybe 6kw with 30+ kw batteries
Are there any benefits of ECS over EQ or are the technologies more or less identical?
I have read somewhere that had (maybe incorrect) information that the charge/discharge rate was higher with the ECS over the EQ
Is there any advantage of either

ECSxxxx is the old one, EQxxxx is the new one.
Not sure of the differences, perhaps EQ4800 has upgraded electrical contacts allowing a higher voltage (taller stack), other than that ... ?
The new PowerQ / PowerQube / Stackable AIO only mentions the EQ batteries in it's compatibility chart rather than the ECS. So not sure if the ECS batteries can be used with it, or if they were skipped simply because they're the older version..

The EQ4800 whilst fundamentally the same can be used in conjunction with an ECS4800 stack to expand it, but if you have a single stack of EQ4800's they are now capable of supporting up to 9 batteries whereas the ECS4800 cannot support that many slaves.
