I have been trying to figure out what batteries to use on a 2800 watt Outback inverter, I was planning six Lifeline GPL 30HT for a total of 900ah. I started looking a Battle born and think I have decided to go with LiFeP04 batteries, I basically have room for two 8Ds.
This would give me 540ah with two of Battle Borns 270ah BB8D batteries. Probably buy one and see how it works and then another at a later date. Only thing I am worried about is redundancy, I could use six of their 100ah. Opinions?
That is a LOT of battery but for reasons that have nothing to do with this thread I'd like to know how much those puppies weigh. (DOn't bother I will find out before you read this).
I'd say the BB8D's are a good choice. Lighter in weight than lead acid. you can use nearly all the power in 'em I keep hearing good things about em.. Your inverter, if an inverter/charger, should not re-fill them overly fast.. or you can put in a progressive dynamics made specific for the BB batteries.
