He was asking before about the Yeti, you can look at past post and get an idea of what he is trying. The problem is that the Yeti has only got a 132 a/hr battery , albeit LiOn.

Whether he is adding other batteries for storage has never been mentioned by him, it has been recommended.
Watching to see how this works out for him may be interesting.
