I have a chance to buy some 12 volt 175 Ah AGM telecom batteries for $100 each and was looking for some advice.These are 6 years old and used in a powergrid backup facility by one of the utilities. I want to set up a 5kw bank to go with my Onan 4.5kw generator and an Aims 5000w 12v to 240 modified sine wave inverter. This inverter will only run my well pump. I plan on a much smaller pure sine wave inverter to run the rest of the house....probably 2000w. I have not done a test to find the total load yet. I want to add a few solar pv's next year. How many batteries should I get ?Better ways to do this?
