Victron smart batteries
It would be kind of you to tell your seller about that mistake, the 200Ah smart lithium costs around 2000€.
@Matthias Lange - DE i am in Africa and the supplie is in UK. The cost of taking back is astromical. i will pay him instead. but i need your assistance on how to use this with the rest of the 100ahr batteries.
@atwijukye@mrc.gm You have a generous supplier in giving extra battery capacity .
You will need to read the Lithium Battery Smart manual. to learn how to pick a BMS that will suit your battery usage.
You must use a BMS with the LSB to protect the battery from destructive over / under voltage situations, and cell damaging temperature extremes.
@klim8skeptic i bought these batteries almost eight months back and i discovered this error this week. The problem is that both the 200 and 100Ahr batteriy are the same in size (same dimensions) with almost the same weight. I have a victron V.E bus BMS. What do u think will happen if i connect the 200hr battery with 11 other 100ahr batteries in a 48v system
@atwijukye@mrc.gm Following the Series / parallel section LSB manual, you can not use different capacity or different model batteries in a series string.
