Figure 1: Voltage vs. Charge

 

There is very little voltage difference between 10% and 95% full in LiFePO4 batteries.  To ensure 
batteries are at the same charge level they all must be initially charged to the same voltage at the tail 
upper end.

 

3.1.3.

 

Add Batteries of Exact Same Model Together

 

 

Caution:

 

All batteries in a bank must be the same model.  Mixing different batteries will result in 
unexpected shutdowns and possible damage to the system.

 

When expanding your battery bank only combine the same model batteries together.  Do not mix and 
match different models or brands.  Doing so will result in the batteries unexpectedly shutting down 
and possibly cause damage.

 

3.1.4.

 

Disable Your Chargers Equalizing Cycle

 

 

Caution:

 

Disable charge equalizing to prevent damage to your system.

 

If equipped, charge equalizing must be disabled in your charge controller(s), including the one in your 
inverter, if it has one.

 

3.1.5.

 

Do Not Use a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS)

 

 

Caution:
