Hi everyone,
I'm really a beginner in this forum and in Solar subjects.
I'm about to buy and install my first solar kit, but I would like to buy different batteries like for motorcycles or cars, since they are a lot more cheaper than the ones sold by solar companies. I have a couple of questions that I would like to have your advice/comments:
1. Is there any problem to connect a lithium motorcycle battery (LiFePo4,12,8V, 20Ah/256Wh) like the one below instead of the lithum batteries usually sold by Solar companies?
2. Should I have anything else in consideration when buying LiOn batteries like BMS (battery management system)? What happens if I don't have a battery with BMS?
3. I'm about to buy and install the system in the picture below. This inverter is prepared to connect lithium batteries, but I don't know exactly where should I install them. I marked in red in the diagram, is it correct? If so, should I use any protection (fuses, for eg.)? Where?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
