I made the mistake early last year of not forward thinking on scaling my storage. I bought 2 chinese batteries (Himassi 12v 200ah 100a low temp bluetooth) batteries from amazon, strung them into series for 24v, along with the a 24v SCC and 24v pure sine inverter. The batteries have been great, but they no longer make them/have them in stock.
Well here I am now, wanting to move to 48v, and I know that mixing BMS in series is a no-go. So I'm trying to find the same batteries (same AH & BMS) in a different brand. If I can't find these, what are my options? So far it sounds like start all over again and eat the cost of these two batteries, or drop to 12v (which will limit my wattage output) but i can safely increase the storage in parallel. Dropping to 12v really isn't an option for me with only 1200ish watts.
Recommendations?
