Ok - question for everybody here - not sure if this is the correct sub-forum... I'm helping somebody setup a basic off-grid solar system. They have a bank of SeaWill brand, nickel iron batteries, that they bought from somebody used. I've done lots of lithium-based van/trailer setups, but never one with this setup.
My initial big question - is there a purpose for each battery have 2 positive and 2 negative terminals (see image in link for reference)? I am going to be connecting the batteries in a series and based on what I can visually see inside of the batteries and the little information on the alibaba page, it doesn't seem like there are two separate cells in each battery... so I plan on only using 1 negative and 1 positive terminal per battery. Does that seem right to others?
I've also found some vague outlines online for charge controller settings for Ni-Fe, but open to any input from people on here if they have experience getting the charging parameters correct. Thanks!
