Considering I intend to change my FLA batteries (At least some of them) by LFP in the next few months (Let’s say 8x280Ah in a 12V system), what would be the effects/consequences of adding the same number of batteries (Same Ah), 1 year later to complete the migration to LFP. Obviously, doubling the capacity (Ah) of the 12V system is a gimme. My question is more in terms of; will batteries used for 1 year « match » the new ones? Or the discrepancies due to usage, specs (IR), batch differences would inder the whole system significantly? I´m assuming (Bad thing to do, I know...) I would find the same brand/model/manufacturer... which is less than certain as I noticed some very well known batteries becoming out of stock while new ones (capacity or otherwise) are appearing.
What are the risks of going for a 2-step project instead of a complete migration? Budget is key here, hence the timeline. The question is really pertaining to batteries as the rest of the infrastructure (BMS, Shunt, active balancer, etc...) would be planned to accomodate the entirety of the project in the first stage.
