Planning to order some LifePO4 cells from China but it will likely be months before they arrive.
In the meantime looking to by some cheap lead acids just to get my solar setup up and running.
Can I use any leisure battery, some of then are very cheap. Currently looking at 2 of these:
Which I would run in series for 24v.
Would these work? Is it a big no no?
I appreciate I will only get 65Ah usable, and plan to draw a max of around 1Kw for a short period (i.e. 30 mins) with most of the time the draw being <200W
Welcome feedback!
