    6v batt converted to 24 volt ah question

    2.5kWh with 80% usable vs. 2.5kWh with 50% usable. If you go with a 3kW AiO, you'll eat up all your usable battery just by having the inverter on The batt bank of FLA is 2784wh that is already taking in consideration the 50% realistically is 5568wh. I totally agree with you with the AIO and...
