Hello and apologies as I now realize this is in the wrong section as I never really use forums. I need some advice on finishing my battery bank. This is my first time trying my hand at solar. I just bought two Redodo 12.8v 230ah lifepo4 batteries with 150a bms. I planned to do a 24v system...
I live in Michigan where we can go quite a few days without sun. A 10kwh capacity would be the bare minimum to be off grid 24/7 without fully draining the batteries and I am stuck at 5.9 kwh.
The plan was to try my hand at this first when I had the money saved up, make sure everything worked...
That is what I am trying to figure out. I see conflicting answers on whether I can add batteries of differing ah and bms capacity in parallel. I cannot seem to find any other batteries that are 230ah with 150a bms and do not have the confidence yet to try assembling my own battery.
Thank you for the reply. The problem is I cannot find similar spec batteries even though they wrre just available a month ago. I realize that it is better to just go straight 24v with the batteries but I am doing this on a budget and buying two 12v over one 24v saved me about $400.
