Who’s using li-ion?
LiFePo4 is lithium iron. Different technology. LiFePo4 is more stable and less expensive - less energy dense as well, than li-ion.
The OP (me) never mentioned li-ion.

I use two Renogy LiFePo4’s 170ah @ 12v in parallel for 340ah @ 12v. You can certainly do a parallel/serial config to get 340ah @ 24v. It would be pricey but it’s certainly doable.
