    Giandel inverter compatible with lithium batteries

    Yes, roughly. I have a 40 amp charge controllers 400 watts of solar and my sticking point is this inverter being able to be matched with a battleborn 100amp 12-volt battery. Currently I don't want buy the Battle Born battery yet until I know that is compatible
