SOK 24V 100 Ah batteries

[shade2u2]

Anyone using the SOK 24v 100 Ah batteries?
Looking at two of them (200Ah) for a 24v MPP LV2424 all in one charger/inverter. Or maybe the LV3024.
I am thinking that the 24V batteries would be easier to charge to SOC with the MPP LV2424.
Any thoughts?
Or would two 12v 206 Ah in series be better? Why?
I plan to have 600-800 W of solar panels on our truck camper.

series vs. parallel

I am trying to replace the dead batteries in my 24V battery bank with LFP batteries. Can somebody explain to me what difference it makes in practical terms (battery performance, battery life expectancy, reliability) if I connect 2 12V batteries in series vs. connecting 2 24V batteries with lower...

One other thing I'll add.

The 24V 100Ah SOK battery has a discharge current of 100A*. The 12V 206Ah SOK battery also has a discharge current of 100A.

If you put 2 24V 100Ah batteries in parallel then you get a 200A max discharge current. This means you can use up to a 4800W inverter.
If you put 2 12V 206Ah batteries in series then you get a 100A max discharge current. This means you can only use up to a 2400W inverter.

So both setups give you 24V and about 200Ah but one gives you the ability to use up to twice the inverter than the other. That may or may not be important for your needs.

* I don't have access to the spec sheet, just the limited info on SOK's website. It's possible the spec sheet states a lower value for the recommended continuous discharge current. The 100A shown on the website is the "max discharge current" but I don't know if that is continuous or just for a few seconds.

that is continuous current 100Amps, peak current is 200Amps.

Thank you for the info.
I’m leaning toward 24v SOKs. Hopefully they will be in stock some day.
Wonder if anyone has actually got and used the 24v…

Did you ever get it? How is it? Looks like it is in stock right now.
