Engineering Formula

  • E_req = Load × Days / (DoD × η)
  • C_ah = E_req × 1000 / V_bat
  • N_blocks = ⌈C_ah / C_block⌉

Usable storage accounts for DoD ceiling and round-trip efficiency. Bank Ah follows from E=Q·V. Lead-acid ≤ 50% DoD; LFP up to 90%.

Step-by-step Calculation

  1. 1.UsableDoD × η73.6 %
  2. 2.EnergyLoad × Days / usable27.17 kWh
  3. 3.AhkWh×1000/V566 Ah

Design Assumptions

  • Constant discharge to reach autonomy over full days.
  • Temperature 25 °C (derate 1%/°C below 20 °C for lead-acid).

Engineering Tips

  • Prefer 48 V DC bus over 12/24 V for > 3 kW loads.
  • Use LFP for daily-cycle systems (> 3,000 cycles).

Warnings

  • Never parallel more than 4 lead-acid strings.
  • Follow BMS SoC limits — over-discharge voids warranty.
