We guarantee that we use lifepo4 battery cells, and we have a 5-year warranties. The reason our batteries are lighter is because we have specially customized the corresponding casing for the 150Ah battery cell.
This is due to the excessive unbalanced voltage difference in the internal resistance of each 12V battery. It may be better to fully charge each battery and let it rest for a while before connecting the battery packs in series.
Generally speaking, a multimeter has an option to measure internal resistance, or a special battery internal resistance meter can be used to measure it.
