Battery Bank Sizing
Battery capacity Battery size or capacity is just as important as the battery type selected for use with the Freedom SW 230V. The batteries are the most important part of your system, so It is recommended that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. A large battery will extend running time and ensure that your inverter/charger delivers full rated surge.
It is recommended a minimum battery size of 200

About
A typical single marine or RV battery rated for 100 Ah can deliver 5 amps @12 volts for 20 hours (5 amps × 20 hours = 100 Ah @12 volts). This same battery can deliver a higher or lower current for less or more time, limited approximately by the 100 Ah figure (50 amps for 2 hours or 200 amps for a half hour), but usually the capacity figure given is only accurate for the specified duration (20 hours).
For Freedom SW 230V inverter systems requiring a
•a pair of 200 Ah@12 volts batteries may be connected in series to create a
•while two of these series pair branches may be connected in parallel to create a higher capacity 400 Ah@24 volts battery bank.
