Trying to expand electrical storage. I'm still a rookie, so not familiar with all the do's and don'ts. I have three lifepower4 batteries and just got the powerpro indoor battery.... then was told you cannot parallel those batteries together. My question is, does that mean I do not have that storage capacity or does it just mean I cannot set up closed loop communication? Do I have 580 amp hours? even though my inverters to do read it?
second question, what is the best configuration and/or is there a way to get them all to communicate with each other?
Thanks.
Unfortunately, Lifepower4 V1 batteries are not compatible with Wallmount batteries for communication. However, you can still connect them in parallel. It is recommended to parallel three server rack batteries for every one Wallmount battery to keep the Ah ratings as similar as possible. The batteries should be used in open-loop mode, with a monthly full top balance of the cells to prevent voltage drift due to the difference in capacity between the two banks.
