I have been gone for 2 hours and every1 has seen this post and thought i was an idiot well peoble these calculations are wrong i dont need 2500w i need 693 w he forgot to take the sq.ft. and divide it by 4. This will give you the square foot of an individual plant, which is vital in figuring out the right wattage you need over your plants 2m×2m is 43.05 sqaure feet not 42 sqaure feet and 693w i i am only going to have 6 plants so i wont need more than 600w need 150ish batteries to power that from 10 different led strips per 70 days i haven't decided which strip to pick so i dont have exact numbers so its 150ish batteries but even 200+ batteries are okay they are cheap in bulk so np and i am disgusted that peoble took 1 look didn't even read and dare to call me stubid meth/heroin/idiot and more after barely reading and i hope u peoble that posted that shit read before they start throwing those terms around and yes i made a mistake with sqaure footage calculations but i had the watts spot on and i have been growing for 2 years and have done alot of research thnx for all that tried to help me
I don’t care how long you have been growing because that has no bearing in your understanding of how batteries work or the science behind them. You seem to be fixated on AA batteries, or batteries that are similar in size, and that is just silly. If you want batteries that not only last longer between charges, but also have a longer overall lifespan, then you need to go with larger batteries that not only have a larger capacity, but can also handle a higher discharge. Why would you go with AA batteries when you could use a 12V deep cell battery or a large capacity LiPo battery? AA batteries are literally the worst type of battery to use for what you are trying to do.

I actually have a battery pack that could run some lights for awhile and I can tell you that those sad, underpowered strips and some AAs ain't going to do shit. Each cell in these packs has a maximum continuous output of well over 100 amps, 10 ah battery life and are 3.2 volts nominal. It is currently configured as 16s4p for a total output of 48v, 480 amps peak output and 40 ah. This is a nasty powerful little pack and I still wouldn't be able to run a grow room for very long on a charge. OP is either a troll, or hopelessly uninformed on the subject.
That's pretty cool, Not a bad size for 1.8kwh, i use EV cells & my method of 14s/66ah(3.4kwh) weighs nearly 60lbs each lol.

Im thinking i can shed some weight with those LFP4 headway cells, what do you think?

Oh you would definitely shed weight. I'll weigh my pack for you and let you know what it all totals out to later today. I assume from your name that you're into car audio and I know there are many people who use these cells for that. Extremely stable chemistry as well.
