Naio,
That's battricide. The most I can do theoretically is about 300 amps from a 556 amp-hour bank. I have seen 276 but more usually am under the 200 mark.
In an ideal world for 200 amps draw I'd have 800 amp-hours of battery bank (which is where I started out with flooded jars).
Best use case for my bank would be to not exceed 139 amps, but that would mean I'd have to not cook my bacon and eggs while running the toaster. I do try to sequence the loads. The worst load is the 1591 watt microwave.
