Hi,
I purchased a Victron Multiplus 24v 3000w inverter, 16 LiFeP04 cells and 2 Overkill 24v 8s BMS's. My plan is to create 2 24v batteries and connect them in parallel at the inverter. I ran system over the weekend using 1 of the 24v batteries it was awesome being able to turn lights on in the middle of the night. Do I need to do anything special to have the 2 8 cell batteries and separate BMS's? I was talking to a friend an he said I should just use a single 24v 8s BMS's and put 2 cells in parallel then tie them in series for 24v. I think I would be better off using 2 BMS's in case of high charge current or load each BMS is rated at 100A. My well pump uses close to 50A alone.
So after all this typing my real question is can I just tie the batteries in parallel or do I need to use either a switch between batteries or some type of electronics.
Thanks
Erik
