You know... I'm so used to being Peukert centric. Capacity is king... and so forth.
But without my trusty calculator, I have to wonder if 200 Ah total / 180 Ah worth of usable power... just might equate to 215 or so. And would certainly be more than the current 142 Ah usable.
If yes, then the cost vs GCs is a wash.
Now with 100A of charge power, I would be at the recommended max, but... OK. So I don't get a gazillion cycles. I just get short generator run times instead. Boo hoo.
All that said... I imagine I would have a hard time stopping at just 2 - 200A LFPs.
Now... how do I tell SOC with these thing?
