One advantage of using old-tech batteries is their availability.
If your high-tech rig fails during a four day power outage,
Amazon isn't going to be delivering any new parts to your door..
But, you can most likely find a used car battery, if your sealed LA pack fails.
Or, you can hook up to your car battery. Which can be charged during a totally overcast sky..
If you were worried about the MPPT charger failing, a cheap PWM charger could be in your spares box..
As nice as having a Pure Sinewave AC source sounds.. Do you really need it?
If you don't foresee needing 120vac, you could still buy a low cost 100W to 400w unit, just in case..
I think COTEK has them on Amazon.. Just need to have the Amp hours to feed it..
