I have two LiTime 24 volt 200ah batteries that have only been in service 2 weeks and are connected parallel. Am thinking on adding a 3rd battery the same as the other two.
First is there any reason that I am not aware of concerning connecting this third battery parallel to the others that would be advisable not to. The first two batteries are practically new so I'm thinking there would be no problem with equalization and compatability. I would just unhook them from the system and connect all three together and let them rest for 24 hours or so to make them happy together. Yes? thank you, George in Austin
BTW I just got my system installed on my roof and it is working great. It is just a back up system for my house. I purchased the 1200 watt 24v system from Rich Solar with the 60a solar controller. I installed the six 26 lb panels on the roof myself and did everything except that I had a electrician install a transfer switch next to my in house sub panel. I've been on the planet 74 years. Very pleased with the system. Just thinkin' on adding another battery.
