Can I put 5.1 kw shoto batteries with my 4.8 shoto A

I have 12 x 4.8 but need 6 more batteries

@Ei Electrical ,

In theory you can do that, but I would first do a whole lot of research before attempting.

You supplier/battery manufacturer local agent/dealer should be able to tell you if they are 100% compatible.

If they are out of reach, you need to find out if both models have the same version of BMS (assuming already they have the same battery chemistry - Hubble comes to mind AM-2's are NMC, and AM-5 is LiFePo4)

Even if they have the same version BMS, they may need to be on the same version of Firmware, before they will "talk" to one another.

It may even be that the 4.8 model is a 15S battery, and the 5.1 a 16S battery, in witch case you are a bit snookered.

So I suggest a whole lot of Googling...

I have 2 Shotos.

I can confirm that the 4.8 is 15S and 5.1 is 16S.

Can't mix them.

Voltages required for charging are different, you'll either damage the 4.8's or under-charge the 5.1's.

Shoto SA didn't even like me wanting to add a 2nd 4.8 to my existing 4.8 (same model) when they were manufactured 2 years apart.
