Do you a 150 recommendation? or 200?

It's relative to my peak sun and usage.

I was going to suggest raw cells.
I guess 12 volt, confirm?
For a drop-in I have to say Battleborn.

12v yes. Battleborn only 100ah. I'm already getting bunch of Battleborns.

You could get 2x battleborn its only 30 ah over spec.

I'm making only 12v systems. But if Battleborn's 250ah comes I'll get that.

You can connect 2 batteries in parralel an it will be 200ah@12volts.

This my first go. Will mentioned topping up a Battleborn making sure it's 'balanced', that put me off. But I'm studying it also, so maybe.

When two battleborn paralleled, they will be balanced on its own.
Especially when you buy two together, they will be matched and paired and ready to go. No need to worry about anything, just connect

I know it's ridiculously simple for people here, but I'm trying to stick to just a single battery for now, still have a lot of learning to do, just about ready to build my 400w series 12v single battleborn. I found it's actually not that straighforward to figure out all the safety stuff. Maybe in the future I'll do 24v.
