Hi all

I currently have 2x Pylontech UP5000 batteries connected to my Sunsynk 8kW hybrid inverter, with 8x 540w solar panels.

One of the UP5000's was recently replaced under warranty with a new Up5000. The other one is about 4 years old with SOH 97%

I want to add a 3rd UP5000 - my question is, do sell the 2x current UP5000's and replace with one 16kW battery, like Hina 16 KW PowerGem Plus Battery, or do i just buy a 3rd UP5000?

What could i potentially get for the 2x UP5000's?

Is there any advantage in just having one 16kW battery (besides the new 10yr warranty)?

I will probably also and a 3rd string of 4x more panels

I personally don't like the idea of one big battery and prefer several smaller ones. If one fails it can be taken care of while I'm still in business with the other ones.
