Battery concern All-in-One MPP 2424LV vs. Component

[SoFar]

I'm looking to setup a small off grid system and was leaning towards the Lv2424 but now I'm thinking about doing a component system because the 2420 needs a certain amount of battery power to turn on the system.

I plan to use two lead acid batteries for now and change to Lithium Iron later. The whole purpose of Lithium Iron was I could use 100% of my batteries and run them pretty much all the way down. But with the All-In-One if I did that I would not be able to get the unit to turn back on with my Solar panels. If I had a component system, I wouldn't have that problem?

Plus, on a component system I could run the inverter without batteries (in a pinch) and I wouldn't be able to do that with a MPP system?.

Doesn't the all-in-one minimize the power usage i could utilize from my batteries as opposed to a component system?

I put this in the wrong Forum.

How can I change it to General Discussion Forum?

If I had to do it over I would go with separate components. Do a search on LV2424 and you will see why.

What did you have for an all in one and what did you change to?

Purchased an LV2424 and have had nothing but trouble - replacing one board at a time over a 3 month period and still cant use MPPT/solar. At least if you go with separate components (ideally purchased in the USA) you can replace at component level and save yourself the remove, dissassemble, replace boards, re-assemble and reinstall again.... while 100% down cycle. My 2 cents.
