Hey everyone, I'm planning to buy a 12V 300Ah battery along with a 2000W inverter. I was initially considering the Renogy battery, but I've come across a lot of negative reviews. Can anyone recommend a better brand? I'm looking for options available in the EU. Ideally, I'd prefer a Lithium battery, but I'm not entirely against AGM or GEL types if necessary.

Have you considered going for a 48V system instead of 12V? It allows you to power more equipment while using smaller wires. If you compare, 12V 300Ah gives you 3840Wh, whereas 48V 100Ah gives you 5120Wh! Might be worth looking into for your needs!
I definitely recommend avoiding AGM or GEL if you can. Lithium batteries are definitely worth it, and they're quite the commodity now so you can get a decent one without breaking the bank. Just make sure you invest in a high-quality inverter, like Victron, since that makes a huge difference!
I'm sticking with 12V for now since I need it primarily for lighting and smaller systems.
