Anybody run Lithium battery bank with solar
I'm considering upgrading my solar and battery bank. On my Arctic Fox 25r trailer, I currently have a 160 watt zamp panel on the roof with a 30a zamp pwm controller. Additionally there are two 100 wat...

Could get 2 or 3 -- 200AmpHR Deka 4D AGM batteries
They weigh in at approx 135# each, I have one and it is mated too a pair of 6v AGMs that are series for 12v, giving me an AGM bank of just over 400 AmpHrs , can't recall if it's 410 or 425 total, I consider the system to be 400, if I use 100 Ahrs, then battery SOC is actually slightly above the stated 75% on the monitor,
Even with the heater on, most mornings the meter is above 70% SOC, unless there was a all night TV/computer streaming binge, I don't like going down to 50% or less, I try keep the battery use to 30% or less of capacity, with a complete recharge each cycle
I have gotten as much as 5 years of use, from a set of batteries, that are used everyday of full-time RV living, around 1800 cycles total
This set is only a few months old, as I purchased them this summer
Don't you mean 800 watts of solar panels
800AmpHrs of solar at 50+ volts to change that 48v Lipo bank, would be exceedingly large, I think impossible to mount on an RV ,
What would it take to generated 40,000 watt Hours of solar electricity (800*50+)
