What operational issues might occur if a person were to expand their battery bank by adding another similar lifepo4 and similar amp hours? Ex: EG4-LL 200A with EG4 Lifepower 200A?
A: NONE
How about with different brands, like an SOK with an EG4 Lifepower? Both 200A
A: Potentially None - some types of BMS products may introduce additional resistance via their power FET's vs. other types of BMS that use a mechanical golf cart style contactor.
How about with different amp hours? Like a 200AH battery with a 170 AH battery - both lifepo4.
A: If wired in parallel NONE. If wired in series parallel potential for battery imbalancing. Could be resolved by using a battery balancer, like the Victron battery balancer.
