I am trying to see if it is feasible to have a battery/inverter backup for my 230v well pump.
According to the pump mfg it draws 230v at 6a max, startup draw 630% max so rounded up to 8700 watts max for startup.
The LiFePO4 I am looking at are 100ah batteries with a 1280w max discharge rate, which would require 7 batteries to not exceed the max discharge rate. 7+ batteries are well out of my budget for storage.
Looking quickly at specs for a 27 series flooded deep cycle battery on Menards site shows 680cca 884mca. Am I understanding this correctly to be the max rate of discharge? If so 1 battery equates to 8160w cca & 10608w mca.
This doesn't seem right to me so I am hoping someone knowledgable can clear this up.
If this is correct, 2 of the 31 series batteries should be sufficient for occasional well pump use on battery/inverter?
Thanks in advance.
