I've done a poke around with the search function, since I thought this would be a common question, but haven't been able to find the answer I want.
Basically I'm looking at getting a handle on how many batteries does it take to run a 2500W inverter?
Obviously it depends on the load, but I'm thinking the occassional heavy draw for a few minutes (ie coffee machine in the morning) and then the rest of the time fairly low draws like chargers, some lighting, maybe a small hand tools.
A coffee machine would be 1000W-ish, which equates to about 100A at 12V. So fairly sizeable currents.
So the question is, can a deep cycle batter put out 100A (AGM/lithium/SLA?) for a few minutes at a time? Or will I need two or more batteries in parrallel?
Or should I run two batteries in series, and change everything to a 24V system, and drop my load amps to 50A? Or does it make no difference how I wire the batteries since each battery is seeing the same load.
For anyone that has a 2500W inverter, how many batteries do you have hooked up?
Thanks in advance
