Hello all,
I have a 24 volt system with 8s 3.2volt lifepo4 cells. 280AH
12 250watt panels (2p6s)
1x victron SCC 250/100
I know this battery bank is small but I thought once the sun went down it would last for a few hours but it doesn't last at all once the sun goes down.
I use this to run 2 window unit ACs mostly which use about 1100Watts.
So I thought while the sun is out the system should be able to power the 1100 watts and still be able to keep the battery up so that when the sun went down it would run for maybe 5 hours. (24v x 280 AH)=6720 Watt hours and so 1100watt load/6720 watt hours =6 hours
Does that sound right? Im sure there is plenty I am missing but I want to make sure I understand.
Thanks for any help.
