Hi!
I'm a noob who's been following Will for some time now before taking the plunge and making my own setup. (Thanks, Will, for your excellent videos!)
I followed one of the beginner setup tutorials as you can see from the attached picture. It works great with one battery but I would like to add another to the setup.
So now, basically I have two 12V LiFePo4 280AH batteries each with their own 4S 12V Overkill Solar BMS. I thought I'd ask for your opinion before proceeding and I do something potentially stupid.
I know I can put two batteries in parallel and basically make a 4S out of 8 batteries if the are balanced well to begin with. But I'd prefer to have two separate boxes with each 4 batteries if possible.
I have read conflicting statements on the net with some saying it's not a problem to others saying that the BMSs could go into a state of repeatedly switching on and off.
Is this a good idea or will it destroy BMS and/or batteries?
Thank you.
