Lithium batteries offer the best performance with zero maintenance, but are the most expensive. Flooded lead acid batteries are the cheapest but have limited capacith. AGM and gel batteries require zero maintenance and offer better performance than FLAs, but do not provide as much power as lithium batteries. There are two types of solar batteries, […]

The charging current determines how many batteries you can use with an inverter. The battery capacity cannot exceed the charging current limits, otherwise the battery will take too long to charge or not all. This applies to all types of solar inverters regardless of size. The number of batteries you can connect to an inverter
