Greetings!
I ordered four 12V 206Ah SOK LiFePo batteries to use in my solar setup. I plan on using a 48V system.
1. I heard that busbars are the way to go for connecting the batteries together for 48V. Are there recommendations of busbars that will easily fit the 206Ah SOK's?
2. Once I receive the batteries, what are the first things I should do to get them ready? Balace them? If so, how? I get a little confused when watching some of the videos on how to discharge them, recharge them, what to use, etc.
3. Is it recommended to do a capacity test on them right away? If so, what equipment do I need & what is the best way?
4. Any tips on prolonging the life of these batteries? What are some no-no's that will kill or cut short these batteries?
5. Will expanding the system by adding 4 more of the same batteries 6 months down the road be easy enough? Are there things one needs to pay attention to when expanding the system?
Thank you for answering any of these newbie questions!
