I'll be the 1st to admit that I don't know much about LFP batteries but Deep Cycle batteries typically have a lower max output than their cohorts "Starting Batteries". starting batteries will have as much as 800A rating but for a very short period of time.

Lead/acid deep cycle batteries have less available surface charge and a much larger charge stored in the larger plates and more lead. That results in a lower max output but over a longer period of time.

It only makes sence that a 400AH LFP battery might have a very high storage but if it were to have a load of 400A, it seems to me that it might overheat in a short time.

I just installed this 2000W inverter today. I can't believe the build quality of this thing. I brewed a pot of coffee this afternoon then boiled a qt of water in the microwave (18 minutes).
