Connecting Lithium Batteries

Featured Replies

I need some advice please. I have 2x Shoto 4.8kw batteries connected in parallel. Then I have added a Pylontech US3000 also 15 cell battery to the same fuse box.

The Shoto batteries are monitored with Solar Assistant and the Pylontech through the LuxPower SNA6000 Inverter. Did this a couple off day ago as our substation blow up in the area.

They all Charge and last me through the night and do get fully charged no problem. When Discharging the Inverter sees the Pylontech as 52% and the SA sees the Shoto's as 51% and charging the same.

The Voltages on both are more and less the same, the charging and discharging are within 1% all the time.

The question is. Are there any concerns that I should be looking at.?

No need to worry due to 1% difference. Just as one does not worry if a cold drink cost R14.99 or R15 😀

I have 3 banks of DIY and normal and at times the difference in SOC is far higher than this.

So, I assume the BMS from the batteries will stop them from over charging.

Yes
