How many you need, by inverter
One pack accepts 100 amps. An inverter that can deliver more than that needs more than one, or the charge rate capped in settings. Both are valid, and the second one costs you charging speed on the short days when you need it most.
Manufacturer documentation names Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000, Sol-Ark 12K, Deye SUN-12K-SG04LP3-US for closed-loop operation with this pack.
