You probably already have your mind set on the lithium's but if I were going off grid, I'd be sticking to lead acid batteries and sourcing them from forklift packs. These seem to be the most economical and certainly have the capacity and lifespan.
Everything I read says they are far more tolerant of misuse than Lipos and it only takes one muck up with lipos which everyone does at the start, to kill them.
Far as I'm aware, lithium's have no scrap value where as lead acid are worth good money at end of life.
LA certainly isn't the trendy new kid on the block but they are tried and true, reliable and the most tolerant of abuse.
