Mixing SOK batteries with Jakiper batteries - doable?

[JamesTheCrow]

Hi all!

Has anyone tried mixing SOK server rack batteries with Jakiper server rack batteries?

I'm looking to expand my Jakiper 48V 100AH battery array, but haven't been able to find any for a few weeks, now.

Can I just buy SOK batteries with the same specs and run them in parallel?

Make sure the config of the old and the new is the same, f.ex. 15S or 16S (48 or 51.2V).
Use voltage to control it not BMS comms.
Should work great. I'm doing the same but with other brands and DIYs. Mine are 15S.

they use the same cells and bms, althought firmwares may be different..

if not using comms there wouldnt be any issue, but for comms you would need to bring them to the same fw level first i guess
