I'm building a van solar power system. I'm looking at Ampere Time 200ah 12v batteries. I plan to use three or four of these wired for a 600-800ah 12v setup with a 3,000 Watt inverter. I plan on running an AC unit, 12v fridge, convection cooktop, and convection oven. I also plan on adding a second alternator for charging, along with solar panels.
Ampere Time offers these batteries with 100a, 150a, and 200a built in BMS. If I understand correctly, max amp draw through the inverter would be 250a at 12v.
What size built in BMS would I need for the batteries in this system?
Alternatively, I could wire them in a 400ah 24v configuration with a 24v 3000watt inverter. That would drop the amps from the inverter to 125. But then I'd have to figure out running the 12v items - fridge, lights. Thoughts?
