Hi Mike. It woudl be great if you did a video showing how exactly you connected/paired the initial 4* 12v batteries to those server rack batteries. You are the only KZbinr that I have ever seen done this, and i have been curious about this setup. Walking us through the EG6000 xp settings for battery comms would also be interesting given that the server rack communicate with the lithium profile, and the 12 volt has to communicate under the lead acid profile with the inverter. Those would make great content and offers something totally different from what's already out there.

@cc-tb3st 4 күн бұрын
In series is a no no but only because you don't get to take advantage of the larger battery capacity before the BMS shuts down the system. In parallel it doesn't matter. The larger battery will send and receive more energy than the smaller one. If the small battery drains out first, it will take energy from the larger battery. This is assuming you have some sort of controller that protects the battery. If you don't have a controller inside the battery, like lead acid, then you will likely overcharge it discharge the small batteries waiting on the big one to file charges or discharge. But nobody is really doing liph without internal BMS that can protect the battery.

Can you give me some advice, you have 4 mixed batteries, I just bought one 12v 100ah battery and I want to build a 24v battery... BUT the supplier is out of stock so I may have to buy a different brand to match it... :( You mentioned a voltage equaliser what can I do
@junkerzn7312 5 күн бұрын
I have two older 25.6V batteries in series myself that I paralleled with my newer 51.2V batteries. I use a little voltage controlled relayed and resistor dump to keep them in balance. But the thing is... that's only because I already had them and the batteries would have otherwise just collected dust on a shelf. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense when buying new to get lower-voltage batteries and put them in series. You lose redundancy, you lose single-unit scaling, you have to add the balancer. It just isn't a good plan. It is far better to scale up a 48V (51.2V) system with 48V (51.2V) batteries. Despite the deal you got on pricing, I would have just bought 50Ah Eco-Worthy 51.2V batteries, one at a time, to parallel into the system. Or another 100Ah server-rack battery. It is so much more robust that way. -Matt
