I'm tired .... from reading this forum for 3 days straight!
Hey everyone, new to the forum and batteries in general. Typical story, I'm putting together a solar system for an RV and have slipped into the DIY battery rabbit hole. I'm trying not to be that guy who asks the same question you've heard a million times and have likely read it somewhere but honestly, my mind is in overdrive. I'm contemplating an order of cells but need a couple of things clarified before I pull the trigger.
1.) The core of the system will be a 3000W invertor. Unlikely I'll need that kind of power out of the gate but I want to build the system to support growth. The first thing I'm trying to is understand is the requirement of my batteries to reach this power output. Is the amperage limited by the cells or the BMS? If I build a single 4 cell pack can I add a 250amp BMS or am I constrained by the output of the 4 cell pack?
2.) Conversely regarding charging, what is the limiting factor to determine the amperage the pack is capable of handling, the parameters of the cells or the BMS?
Appreciate any assistance.
