[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 530281, member: 35153"] It may have been better to start a new thread than adding to this one. ([COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]You are right, I have split his pos[/COLOR]t) Lead Acid 'v' LifeP04 Lead acid you should only discharge to 50% so the 100a/h battery can only give yo 50a/h. The life span of lead acid is nowhere near as good as LifeP04 and the voltage curve isn't as good during discharge i.e. LifeP04 holds the voltage up until the end. You could go the route of building your own battery from ex laptop batteries, loads on youtube about that. A source for new LifeP04's in the UK I have found is Fogstar which seem to have good prices and discount codes are available. One final point, testing a system through winter isnt really the best time for testing. Good luck, hope you enjoy the experience. [/QUOTE]
