Note!The battery size will be based on running your inverter at its full capacity Assumptions 1. Modified sine wave inverter efficiency: 85% 2. Pure sine wave inverter efficiency:90% 3. Lithium Battery:100%.
[pdf] Yes, you can use a 24V battery bank with a 12V inverter, but you need a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS). The SMPS will convert the 12V to the necessary 28V for charging the 24V lead-acid battery. Keep in mind that different battery chemistries may need different charging voltages.
[pdf] Inverters are designed to work with specific input voltages, and a 48V inverter requires a 48V power source to function properly. Using a 24V battery with a 48V inverter could lead to damage, malfunction, or inefficient operation, as the power supply would not meet the inverter’s requirements.
