What Lithium Battery bank do I need?

I’m starting my search for a lithium RV battery bank.

I’m going to put 960 watts of solar on my roof. I want to boondock alot. I will run the refer, Microwave, 2-TV and Direct TV and blow dryer and charge phone and computer as well as Mr. coffee for morning. I picked out the Solar system but not sure on the lithium battery bank. I have a 3 foot by 21 inch spot for the bank to sit. I want to make sure we have plenty of power for everything. Don’t want to start the generator if possible.

Want to know where did you buy yours from?
What did you go with?
I know that federal Government has rebates on Solar are there any on the battery banks or is it just the solar that includes the bank?
Did you buy a box to house the bank or build it yourself?

Thanks for your help.

Well Lithium batteries are very very expensive. I did my system myself.

I would suggest getting in touch with Battle Born Batteries in Reno NV. They offer a complete line of LiFePO4 batteries.

I have a thread here...

You can check out their website here...

Call and ask for Sean, mention coupon code CC0117 for 10% off. Not sure if it's still valid, but he will probably give you break.

Be prepared to spend $$,$$$ for batteries, solar controller and an inverter to boondoock and be able to run those loads. And you'll give up a lot of space as well.
