Wow those Peukert losses still add up. I did not realize with so many amp hours of battery they would be anything like that. I had visions of huge banks conquering Peukert. Do you have the number from your battery manufacturer or computed from usage?
Nah, lead acid just sucks, battery bank size won't fix that. When I did my convection oven measurements (just the AC side), I figured ~158A on the DC side with inverter losses. The batteries would "see" ~202A. I did figure out the Peukert exponent for my batts is 1.17.
