Mac, for this type of large system we typically use Surrette/Rolls 2YS31.They are 2430 ah. When we get into battery banks this large we typically only run two cells deep (front to back) for ease of maintenance. I hope your customer has some free time on their hands for maintenance. Remember, Surrette deep cycle batteries demand a higher than most charge rate or you will find the life of the cell will be significantly shorter than with proper charging. I'm sure your local battery distributor or Jamie Surrette can send you the tech stuff on these batteries. Any way it goes, this is a very big battery bank. Good luck!
