Battery Bank - wire for 12v, 24v, or 48v?
I have four 12v 100Ah Battle Born lithium drop-ins. I'm looking towards the future using Victron components: - 3,000W inverter w/ hybrid load-support - solar charging Currently I have a built-in ...

Not being argumentative just trying to understand better.
Lately it seems more suggestions are to go with higher voltage always by people who don't use the higher voltage but always claim the next time they'll do it. If it's so great why not do it now using the same wiring you have now (should be little to no V drop seeing it's bigger wire). The only thing that seem your changing is the battery configuration and a couple components.
What exactly will it do in an RV that I'm doing now and have been for years? I know run the AC unit but in order to do that for a long period of time won't you need a larger battery bank so it's not depleted even at 24v or 48v? 12v @ 400ah, 24v @ 200ah 48v @ 100ah all equals 4,800wh it's the same capacity isn't it? Or does this benefit more a lead base battery compared to lfp battery?
