I have an older 12kw inverter that operates on 96VDC/230VAC that powers our deep well pump and our water pressurization system. It uses gel batteries right now that I expect their end of life to be within the next year. But I have an opportunity to buy 12 new prebuilt 48v LifePo4 200ah rack mount batteries that come with balancers, BMS and communication capabilities at an excellent price. I only need 6 for the system I'm buying for right now and I can find a use for another 2 within a year. I'd like to use the other 4 on the system I described. The question is, Can I put 2 of this type batteries in series to make the 96v and those 2 series in parallel to make 400ah? I know I can parallel, but I can't find any info on series. Your thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. That's about it. the dog
