Working on yet another budget LifePO4 project. Goal is to have more 12V capacity for a small room air conditioner and use the battery packs I have.
I have Three (3) 12V battery packs each using the exact same BMS (each). One Pack is 175AH, one is 75AH, and one is 50AH. Batteries are different manufacturers for each pack but consistent within a pack.
Inverter is a 1500 and drives the A/C easily as it is low seer, small, low power consumption, new, and can run off any of the three batteries one at a time.
Any reason why I can't combine the three batteries by connecting them to a central power bus? Fuse to Inverter of course!
Can One Charger connected to the Bus and charge all three batteries (I assume BMS will stop the charging when each battery is full and disconnect them when they are spent).
As always, Thanks!
