**Example:** You need 100AH x 1 day, so your bank will be 200AH cycled 50% each day. \\ | **Example:** You need 100AH x 1 day, so your bank will be 200AH cycled 50% each day. \\ |
**Example:** [[electrical:12v:lifepo4_batteries_thread|LiFePO4]] can be drained down to 80%-90% DoD so you would need only 110AH of rated capacity with that chemistry. 120AH if you are conservative. | **Example:** [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#lithium_chemistries|LiFePO4]] can be drained down to 80%-90% DoD so you would need only 110AH of rated capacity with that chemistry. 120AH if you are conservative. |

Solar power often works best when paired with another power source. This is because the first half and second half of [[electrical:12v:charging|smart charging]] have different time/power ramifications | Solar power often works best when paired with another power source.
