How big a battery should I use for a 24v inverter

1000W Inverter: How Many Batteries Do You Really Need?

Yes, you can — but only if your inverter supports 24V input. A 24V system will cut the current draw in half (about 41 amps instead of 83 amps), making it more efficient and easier on wiring

Can an Inverter Be Too Big for Your Battery System?

When sizing for 24V or 48V systems, recalculate using the higher voltage. A 48V 100Ah lithium battery (4.8kWh) paired with a 5000W inverter works because 48V × 100Ah × 1C = 4800W. Always account
