Prices have been dropping like crazy as the various battery manufacturers have been competing with each other. They are all pretty similarly priced at this point.

A 2kwh ecoflow now costs $800. Still overpriced, but the gap is steadily narrowing.

Also, $1800 for 16kwh is a great price. That's $112/kWh. That's pretty close to raw cell costs.

Does the battery pack also come with charge circuitry, inverter, bms?

Of course it comes with our charge and discharge circuitry which is the inverter and also acts as the bms. As far as I am aware as a scientist, we are the only one in the world who charge each battery cell in parallel and slower or pulsed without maxing out or overheating, that's why we get 20000 discharge cycles versus the 5000-8000 the battery manufacture quotes.
