Li batteries at 48vdc
After much deliberation and questions, I'll likely be purchasing the 48v Lithium battery pack instead of 4-12v. I liked the idea of 12v batteries for weight and ease of handling, but the possible cel...

I want to see confirmation that solar production will increase dramatically.
They charge in 'bulk' at a constant voltage, around 14.4, or so, the whole time. No slow rising from their discharge voltage as with FLAs. Since Lis have no "discharge voltage", the solar should be cranking at a steady high voltage the entire time.
I'm psyched to get going on this but it could be another few weeks. Being real careful as it's a big investment, and if done right, will be the last batteries I ever need. I don't want to think about it being done wrong! :(

With lithium, you often see them using 70 percent, 60 percent or even less, which makes comparisons to other batteries that have used the 80 percent standard an apples to oranges type of thing.
