When does adding a 3rd Delta Pro Ultra battery actually make sense?

I had Delta Pro Ultra with 2 batteries (12kWh total). Works fine for 1-2 day outages if I'm careful with AC usage. But PSPS sometimes goes 3+ days. Wondering if I should add a 3rd battery now or just wait and see.

The math: Gets me to 18kWh which should cover 3 days pretty comfortably. Or do I just add portable solar panels instead and stretch the 12kWh by recharging during the day?

What did others do? Batteries first or solar first?

Can't stand having random stuff cluttering my dash. My head unit has wired AndroidAuto but the cable is driving me crazy, want to go wireless without adding something that looks out of place.

Tried one of the cheaper ones a while back and it just felt unreliable, connection would drop randomly, and it stuck out more than I expected. Ended up pulling it out after a week.

Wondering if anyone here has found something that just sits quietly, connects fast, and you basically forget it's there. Size and reliability are probably my two biggest things. Not looking for features, just something that gets out of the way and works.

Anyone running something they're actually happy with?
