In my experience, it is the exception not the rule that the seller does not give the current capability.... but sometimes it is in the form of the BMS rating. Example"....with a built-in 100A BMS...". That tells me the battery can deliver a continuous 100A.
The BMS needs are defined by the load.... not the battery. If the load is 5000W, and the battery voltage is 48V, the total current going to the load is 5000w/48V=104.2A.
With a 12V battery arrangement of 4x4, there are 4 strings of batties in parallel and each string would supply ~ 1/4 of the total current. So for a 104.2A, the draw for each string would be 26A.
Related question, It sounds like you need a 48V system. Why not start with a 48V battery?
After having to look at all the equipment I would have to sell, all victron, 2 x MPPT, 2 x 3000w Inverters, lynxx distributor, smart shunt, and then - buy an AIO inverter/charger hybrid, new wiring, fuses breakers etc (some I might already have)
48V to 12V converter plus 1 12v battery to run existing 12v equipment, even though I would like to change, I don't think it's financially achievable for me.
Plus I know the quality of Victron, despite my recent MPPT fire, is still probably the best and safest on the market.
I have to get rid of the 2 340ah commercially supplied batteries that are useless, after ongoing issues with failing BMS's, charging, balancing, etc. Hopefully the Co is going to see sense in a full refund rather than engaging in a fight, and if so, that will allow me to buy the necessary cells and BMS's to build my own system, that will be under my control for better or worse.
If I go by the guidance here, then I think I will have an efficient long lasting off grid solution moving forward.
Back to the BMS question, so if I am getting it correct, then each of the 12v 4s batteries would require only a 100amp BMS?
