I have a 1060 AH Lifepo4 bank. Yesterday I pulled 40amps for 6 hours and 20 amps for 8 hours. It took me 5 hours at 100AH charging to get back to full. These numbers don’t exactly add up because I am not monitoring very carefully plus I still have heavy demand even while charging. I am again pulling 40 amps today. I am experimenting with how hard I can hammer the bank. My 1400 AH lead acid would have been down to 12.0v with this much use. So far I have not been down to 13.0v. This is not exact science. It is a test run to see what I can expect from LiFePo4. I do not normally spend a day watching 10 hours of TV with the wife surfing the Internet. So far I find my self more comfortable with the LiFePo4 batteries than my old lead acid batteries.
