Looking to build a battery pack with around a 36kwh capacity. It will have a constant 1200 watt load on it pretty much 24/7. I’ll be using some sort of hybrid inverter for the power side of things And it seems like a 48v system is the way to go should I want to do more later. There seems to be a lot of battery options and prices seem to be getting pretty good. What would you more seasoned folks recommend? Space and weight is not really an issue. Ive been looking at the grade B lifepo packs that Will recently reviewed. Any benefits on lead acid, rule of thumb is to double capacity on lead acid right? Also I’m in central Florida, pretty mild winters.

Benefits of lead acid...?
You should really try spending some time reading in here first.
For example... 1200w *24hours = 28,800 watt hours.

Divided by 51.2 volts (the nominal voltage of a 48 volt battery) = 562.5 amp hours of battery.

Which means a 1200 amp hour lead acid.

How did you come up with needing a 3.6 kwh battery?
