4 FAQs about Can solar battery cabinet lithium battery packs be mixed

Can you mix different capacity lithium batteries?

Yes, you can mix different capacity lithium batteries, whether a normal 12V 100Ah battery or a Lithium server rack battery. You can combine different capacity batteries in parallel. You cannot combine different capacity batteries in series. There are a few points you need to consider when wiring in parallel. Let's explore these three points.

Can you use multiple lithium batteries in parallel?

Here is a diagram for multiple lithium batteries in parallel. You can add individual battery switches after the fuses. From the main busbar, it can go to your inverter, charge controller, or generator. The negative cables can go to a busbar, then a shunt, then another busbar.

Can lithium ion be combined with LiFePO4?

It is not possible to combine lithium-ion with LiFePO4. This is because lithium-ion has a slightly higher voltage than LiFePO4. The batteries get charged all at the same time. A smaller battery will be at the same voltage as a larger battery. Therefore, the state of charge will be equal in all batteries.

Which wires should I use for a battery pack?

Each pack, of course, needs to have its own fuse (safety first) and when wiring the packs in parallel it is highly recommended to use wires of same length & AWG (ie, all 2/0) to eliminate / reduce any difference in voltage, resistance etc.
