Sorry if this is not the correct forum to ask questions I am a noob trying to learn electricity. I am just browsing batteries to buy and am unsure to go with the name brands lifepro, aolithium, or anything else because then I worry I need all the same type of battery like eg4 with life pro batteries or if I can mix match.
I found this battery just now and it says its on sale for $500 less than original $1500 so I am wondering if this is a good general battery to start my mobile system with, my goal is simply to power a 5000 btu window air condition unit. The battery says up to 50 amps discharge and the air condition I plan to use will probably only draw 5 amps i assume. And I was going to buy the eg4 inverter for around $700 but I am leaning toward a cheaper inverter like $300 but maybe I should just buy the best of the best instead. Please help will this weze battery work with the eg4 inverter just fine without communication wires?
Also I am worried that if I go with the 48v battery that I will need enough solar panels in series/parallel (not sure the difference) to reach over 48v output to recharge the battery, Would it be easy to have a 24v battery that can be charged easier with less solar panels?
WEIZE 48V(51.2V) 100Ah 5120Wh LiFePO4 Lithium Battery
WEIZE 48V 100Ah LiFePO4 Batteries are designed to exceed 2000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge or 8000 cycles at 50% depth of discharge (suggested), without any decrease in performance. In comparison, lead-acid batteries typically last about two years (500 cycles) at just 50% discharge.
