Easysolar/ multiplus 48v, connecting 54v and 48v bateries?

Hello,

I'm running 24x 2v bats that's goes up to 54V.

I would like to connect Few more 12v batteries (probably 10 or 20)

What would I need to connect in safe way? Is it even possible or I have to just bridge 12v bateries to 48v and scrap my old 54v battery pack?


Thank you

If old and new batteries are the same chemistry and type (PB I presume), there should be no problem connecting those new 12V batteries in 48V setup (12Vx4) to the old 24x2V setup.

Should I book up 3 balancers into then?

They will definitely help to manage those 12V batteries.

You can connect 6 x 2V of old cells in parallel with each 12V new battery and 3 balancers will be enough.
