I live in CA, so unless I'm up in the Sierras during winter, I shouldn't have any issues running lithiums. But I can't afford them, so it doesn't matter! Lol.

So you can't create 2 or 3 packs of 2- 6v batteries in series (making a 12v pack), and then run those packs in parallel to increase the amps? There are a few 225Ah 6v batteries made. 3- battery packs (2- 6v in series making 12v) connected in parallel would give me 675 Ah, right? Since I can't (or shouldn't) let them drop to less than 50% charge, that would be 335Ah usable until I'd need to recharge... right?
Theoretically, that would let me run a 10A load for at least 15hrs before needing to be charged back up to 100%... right? 10A seems like a lot for evening & overnight use, is it? Should (& I know there are several factors to account for) an 800W solar system typically be enough to be able to recharge the batteries during the day?
OR... am I overthinking this and should I just hire a pro? LOL
