I am hoping someone can spread some knowledge, for may seem like a dumb question for this newbie. My question involved cycle life of the batteries, and sizing the bank to maximize that cycle life.
I am installing a 24V LiFePO4 bank of QTY=6 Victron 12V/200Ah batteries (2 three batteries series strings, run in parallel). If desired, I have the option to add another pair....$$$$.
The biggest load in this application draws 450A for a max 15-25sec duration, potentially 10 times in a 15min period. This would happen once every 10 days...maybe. The batteries would be recharged by solar and/or a 110/230 supplied Victron charger/Inverter.
With this type of intermittent current draw I presume there is high heat generation and that heat would effect the cycle life of the batteries. Does increasing the battery stack help in limiting the heat damage by adding capacity to draw upon? Is it worth the money?
Any shared wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
