When I ordered my new batteries from Alpha a couple of weeks ago, I decided to get 3 rather than 2 for the "better to match all batteries" principle even though I don't think I really needed the extra 100Ah. But the space was there and it never hurts to have more capacity.
But these were Lead-Carbon batteries. If I had gone for Lithium (original plan, but decided above budget), then I would have just gone for the two I think to save money and just get a third later on if needed.
Just a reminder on the Poweroads ... the Infinity can connected in Series OR Parallel, but for some reason, the Base can only be connected in Series, so for a 12V Bank, you can only ever use a single Poweroad Base Battery - so if anyone is thinking 'I might want to add more capacity later', they should get the Infinity model.
