Hi everyone
I’m still a noob with all of this, I made a mistake a few months back and brought 2 120amp drop in lifepo4 batteries for an rv. I wired them in serial to find it’s not working. Good old eBay didn’t say they couldn’t be used in serial. So the second battery is sitting there not doing anything and I desperately need the amps. We are running two 12v fridges 24x7.
So my thought is, can I strip the cells out of the battery, and then wire them into 1 large battery using a parallel/serial style setup. (Perhaps even grab a third and make is 360amp).
Before I destroy the batteries, has anyone opened up drop ins. What can I expect. Can I wire the cells up easily etc.
Does anyone have any pics or links o a similar project?
Thanks in advance
