Volta old gen battery dilemmma

Hi guys. Just registered in the forum but waiting for approval.

I have a bit of a dilemma.

2.5 years ago i installed a 5kw deye inverter with 6 x 550w ja solar panels and 1x 5kw volta stage 1 battery.

Since the i added another 4 600w ja osneks on my second mppt.

Here's my dilemma: i now want to buy more batteries, however Volta's new gen stage one is not backwards compatible with the old gen?

I am generating enough power to go completely off grid if i run 7x 5kw batteries, however i dont trust volta any more as i see no reason for the bms not being compatible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
