    24 VDC lithium batteries for mecer inverter

    Anyone have any experience with lithium batteries connected to 24 VDC RCT or Mecer voltronic inverters.

    We have the option of:

    2 x 12 VDC 100 amp/hr, which would give you 200 amp/hr instead of 100 amp/hr like the 24 VDC packs.

    1 x Dyness 24 VDC lithium pack 100 amp/hr.

    1 x Must 24 VDC lithium pack 100 amp/hr

    Which are compatible with voltronic inverters and solar assistant.

    Currently I have 2 x 12 VDC gel batteries connected using solar assistant for remote view and adjusting settings, replacement cost around R5000, do I just replace every 3 years (average life span) or can we justify R10 000 for a 24 VDC 100 amp/hr that is half the capacity but can be discharged to 80% DOD compared to the gels at around 50 % DOD.

    Some would say the charge rate is much better for lithium, that would only be considered if the mecer inverter could charge at a higher rate.

    We have replaced the lead acid type battery on RCT type inverters with Lithium 12v drop in replacements - Have left the loads light as there were with the lead acid set and the systems have performed well
