Thank you for this simple explanation.

Instead of buying two batteries rated 12v each, can I purchase a single rated 24v? For example, for a 3.5KVA 24V, can I use a 200a 24V battery instead of two 160a 12V batteries?
12v is easily common and more affordable. When buying an inverter and batteries look at long term.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 10:54am On Aug 06, 2023
Yes. There are single 24v n 48v batteries for lithium. It might be available on lead acid too but I avnt seen 1 b4.
As for ur previous question. It not advisable u go above this wattage on various level of voltage as you will definitely be spending ridiculous amount inorder to keep up with the amps draw
12v - 1500w
24v - 3000w
48v - 6000w
Like that. If u want something bigger eg 12kw on 48v level u can den decided to spending more on cables and batteries eg 12kw 48v lifepo4(can do 1c) with 48v 15kva inverter(real capacity). Or u get get 2 different inverter with batteries n parallel the output(for inverters that has this feature)

Yes you definitely can. Infact I would advise you get the 24v battery pack instead of buying 2pcs of 12v battery packs and connecting them in series to get 24v. Here are few of my reasons:

1. It may be a challenge especially for noobs in the alternative energy DIY'ers to regulate balancing of voltages across the two batteries. One battery may drain faster/charge faster/slower than the other and this gives rise to voltage imbalance. Ultimately you may need to get a voltage Equalizer / balancer.

2. The batteries stand the risk of both getting spoilt at about thesame time, especially if the above issue isn't fixed on time. This is unlike battery packs connected in parallel.

All things being equal sha.

I stand to be corrected though.

In the context of lead acid batteries, a 2 x 220Ah setup at 12V yields 5280Wh, but in real-life usage, you can practically utilize only 50 percent, resulting in 2640Wh, and it might require replacement after around 2 years.

On the other hand, a 24V 100Ah setup provides
2400Wh, which can be used up to 80 percent or even the entire capacity in some cases. This lithium battery can last for up to 5 years or more. Moreover, the cost of both setups is likely to be similar.

The price is #235k for the 3.3kva, and I've gotten it today as I was made aware that the price will be going up soon anytime from tomorrow.

thanks for the recommendation... @ samir101ng

Hello bro, do you mind sharing your experience with your SRNE hybrid inverter?

To be very honest with you, aside your first paragraph, I got more confused reading the following paragraphs. I am a newbie and relying on the information on this thread to make a decision.

Thank you brother.

Actually, I am considering going for lithium batteries. This is the set up I have in mind:

1. 3.5KVA 24V hybrid inverter
2. (2) 200ah 24V lithium batteries
3. OR (4) 100ah 12V lithium batteries

I am now stucked decising on what brand of inverter to go for. I am thinking between Sorotec and Felicity.

Any recommendations on a good inverter is highly appreciated.

You mean if I run 500w loads on a 12v 220ah tubular battery, I will get just one hour of electricity supply?

2. Did you mean (2) Flooded Batteries?

3. Lithium batteries can be packaged as required, 12V, 24V, 48V. (12V/10AH~500AH) 24V/10A~1000AH (48V50AH~1000AH) It is better to purchase a single battery than buying (2)12V and connecting them in series to get 24V for your 24V inverter. Lithium has a Battery Management System (BMS) and most BMS are not too good with series connection, although the technology is improving by the day. undecided

yes please. A little bit above one hour. At 60A on 12v the battery voltage sage instantly, you will watch the voltage dissappear

Has anyone used "SRNE HF Series hybrid inverter" e.g. HF4850S80-145v. Is it a durable inverter and how's they after sales service like warranty?

Kindly share anything you know about the SRNE hybrid inverter, thanks in anticipation!

Is anyone using SRNE Hybrid inverter, I need your honest opinion.

isangjohnson:

I read positive review about it but it seems hybrid version of 3.5kva/48v is not in the markets.
I saw transformer based but I'm afraid it idle power.
My Felicity Inverter 3.5kva/48v consumed 85w on idle power and I need replacement.

Any review on TBB 3.5Kva/48v?

Does tbb have 3.5kva 48v, please which model is this?

I am doing some hypothetical calculations based on the maximum output power for first 30mins

you are very correct, I have been using my tbb 1.2kva 12v inverter to power a big blender which consumes about 1.3kw at medium speed, albeit for about 4mins intermittently. Reading were done via a clamp meter

Is the bolded Energier pro?

Do you if "3kva-48v Energier Pro Tbb Inverter" can deliver 3000w for first 30mins?

I guess it's not worth it spending around 300k on the set up for a room and parlor ( just a 120w tv and 2 fans).


One more thing please, during the day, is it possible to be charging the battery with solar(mppt) and using it simultaneously, or I have to charge first , then use and charge again.

Note : I am a newbie

I just want to set up a 500w inverter, star plus tubular battery (12v 220ah), 300w panel and a mppt(60A)
