solar bank problem

nokiatom · 2024-04-28 08:33:51

I have a small solar system (12v) consisting of four 240ah LifePo4 batteries in parallel. I would like to add one more but the company only have 200ah or 300ah batteries. What can I do? Thanks

Hi! What are you using it to power? You could look at moving up to a 50v system instead of 12v, far better efficiency if you're inverting that to AC.

If batteries are in parallel they will work fine together, even at different age ratings
