Good day, I would like to connect 2 battery bank to my Quattro II 24: Starter bank 24V 500AH lead acid Consumer bank 24 V 600 AH lithium ion with bms The LIPO banK I connect to the main terminals but how do I charge the starter bank?
Considering that you have two types of battery bank chemistry and a single Quattro II 24V, you will have to VE.Config/configure the Inverter for one type battery bank. Unless they have the exact programme settings, then there MAY be some hard-wiring possibility to switch between the two banks. But from what I know, lead acid and lithium battery have different configuration settings, and therefore you would have to reprogramme everytime you switch from one battery bank to the other.
Use an external charger for the starter-bank.
Configure the Quattro for the house bank as intended. Use an Orion 24/24-17 to charge starter bank from house bank. Normally you need a maintenance charge, not a rapid charge, so this would be adequate.
Re-reading, I see there's a 500AH starter bank. Sorry, you would need multiple Orions in parallel. Probably best with a separate charger from the AC side.
