I have 8x3,2V LifePo4 202Ah cells in a 24V configuration and an Overkill BMS.
I'm planning to buy 8 new cells and expanding from 8 to 16. My "old" cells are under a year old with few cycles.
As I understand it I have two options. either 8 cells in parallel with 8 others. But then I will need 2 BMS's.
The other option is to put all 16 cells in a 24-volt configuration with only one BMS.
Can anyone help me with this? And please explain it very simply. Illustrations are highly appreciated!
I understand you put two and two cells together in series. But I don't understand how and where I will connect the balance leads...And should I put a new and old cell together or new+new and ol+old?
Is the easy or is there an easy way to screw this up?
