I currently run 900 amp-hr bank- 24 volt- agm batteries. Looking to replace as we have gone from vacation use to full time living off grid and find the batteries just don't have it anymore (more than 7 years old). I never tried the forklift style industrial lead acid batteries and now am tempted. All this discussion on lithium is great and I may go down that road but I want to air out the older tried and true technology first. I really don't need help with sizing or totaling loads, rather need to look globally at my ability to keep them charged with minimal sun in winter (Pacific NW) using occasional diesel generator power source. Either way the battery will be expensive and I am aged such that do-overs are not an option. I understand the LI bank can be smaller based on depth of discharge characteristics so that may come into play if I rule out lead-acid. Mostly, I want to get back to not having to service the system on a daily basis.
Any nods towards a 600 amp-hr 24 volt battery and up will be appreciated.
