Hello I currently have a set of lead acids charged by solar panels. Im trying to add in a set of lithiums to the array. Does anyone know if dc-dc chargers only work one way? Or perhaps I need two? The idea is to have two different chemistries and be able to charge and use them at the same time without needing to switch manually.
DC-DC is one way. You'll need some kind of charger for each. Are the two batteries joined on the load side or are they doing different jobs? If shared, can you automate the load switching? eg Cerbo or BMV
It's not ideal to mix chemistries. Victron have a battery combiner for this.
