Season coming to an end.

Battery bank working very well with 200AH of Battleborn and 400AH of SOK in parallel.

Charge point is 14.5 volts. Low SOC is typically 70-80%.

As long as the 14.5 volt charge point works I’ll use as is.

When I start having troubles I’ll get into the cell by cell analysis. At least now I know how to do it.

The only batteries that do that were the Battleborns I took out of service. SOK’s are connected all the way through 14.5 as are the still functioning Battleborns.

Your scenario could explain what is wrong with my two defective Battleborns. The SOK’s never quit charging. At 86% and 13.8 volts they were charging at 70 amps. The good Battle borns had quit at 100%...

No.

I thought BMS’s keyed off voltages but the 200AH bank stopped charging at 13.8 volts. I left the two banks combined and let the 400AH bank continue to 98%. Never did reach 14.3 volts. Next...

I’ll get them all to 100% at 14.3 volts with another charge cycle but nothing beyond that. I can get to 14.6 volts but don’t do it anymore.

Wednesday morning:
400AH 54% SOC
200AH 53% SOC

Good enough. No need to separate the two battery banks.
Now to charge them with 300AH. That will take a while.

This is the first data on dissimilar battery banks in size, brand, and age wired in parallel. I think it is partly a fluke for them both to be at 84% but does appear it will work

We will see. Each bank has it’s own battery monitor. I’ll let you know how or if it works.

I expect it to work but if it doesn’t I can pop a circuit breaker and use each bank separately.

The Battleborns arrived fully charged 6 years...
