I think that they would be like 6 volt jars in that if you did want to run the larger loads, you will need to spread it out with more batteries. Having a larger bank is so nice when you do fire up the MW or coffee pot. I was so use to seeing the last bank take a dive that even with the solar assist that it was hard to believe when I ran the MW for 12 mins and barely dropped into the 12's.
So possibly the 600 Ah bank would have served me as well as the 675 Ah Lifelines. Loads are spread out or covered by the solar. The solar itself isn't enough to cook them and the cycling over night is very low. All that remains to be seen is how they would handle a week of cloudy weather and reduced solar output. Mex says they can take forever to recharge, does that mean they wont be damaged by not getting back up to full for a extended time?
I can't wait for LiPo's to become affordable. We will be having a good ol time then. ;)
