Single versus string of batteries for reliable power backup

The way backup batteries are setup is very important to the longevity of an inverter setup. Depending on the capacity, there is choice between having a single battery or battery string(s) backup.

Every power backup system should be implemented to stand the test of time. This is because the cost of investment on them is quite high. Good batteries are expensive and it will be a wastage of financial resources to install them in such a way that they won't last.

Depending of the capacity of the inverter, the size of backup batteries and the backup time, single battery or multiple batteries connected together can be used.
