Hoping someone can provide a bit of advice for my situation. A bit of background: I'm planning a camper van build. Based on my original plan, I bought two SOK 12v 100aH batteries. I've changed my plan a a bit though and I'm now going to incorporate a 3 kW inverter rather than the 1 kW I had originally planned. So, I need more capacity to support the larger draw and moving to a 24v system seems like the smart thing to do as well. As I see it, with those givens, I have several options:
- Keep it simple and just plunk down for another 2 SOK batteries and wire them with the 2 I already have in a 2p2s configuration.
- Buy 8 more cells of the same type as are in the SOK (Ganfeng, according to my reading), along with an 8s 100 amp BMS and wire that in parallel with the SOK batteries wired in series
- As above, but buy a second BMS, pull the cells from the SOK batteries and build a 8s2p pack.
- Pull the cells from the SOK batteries, buy 8 more cells and a 200amp 8s BMS and build an 2p8s pack.
- Sell the SOK batteries, chock the likely loss up to a learning experience, and build a pack with 8 230/280aH EVE cells.
