Also I was planning on running a large enough inverter to power at least the AC. I don't think I'd ever power the AC from the batteries, but itd be nice to have the option, especially if i ever do a serious solar setup.
Im looking to do a few 100ah Lithium batteries with 70amp continuous discharge rating. Thats 840 watts per battery, so with a 13,500btu AC pulling 1500 watts while running, i should be okay with 3 batteries, providing 2520 watts to start and run the AC.
