          meeting <br>
          for the brand new Outback FX inverter. I asked the engineer,
          what was <br>
          the smallest battery bank that could be connected to the
          inverter. He <br>
          said on the fly that probably you would want the battery to
          &quot;weight&quot; at <br>
          least as much as the inverter. I thought that was a great
          answer.<br>

          Fast forward, with a 4000w Outback Radian, AC coupled with
          2000w of PV, <br>
          what is the smallest Li battery I would want for stable
          operation?<br>
          <br>
          My loads don&#39;t really need more than 40ah of capacity.<br>
          <br>
          What is the latest best practice on this?<br>
