At the moment I have a 24v x 600 a/h lead acid battery bank hooked up to a 24/3000 easysolar.
Its a solar offgrid, stand alone system.
No generator back up.
I have plenty of power and after 2 years of no power issues am considering adding a 2nd battery bank.
Only because I want to. I have a honey warming system that Id like to run from the 2nd battery bank.
Do I need the same battery size and style as the other?
Could I go for a smaller Nicad or Gel?
How should it be wired in?
Many thanks
I have a honey warming system ?
is that a bee radar , or when your honey storage is running low ?
You can mix the size of the battery , but not mix the chemistry of the battery because they have different charging voltages .
If you are just adding batteries then they need to be added as a 24v, parallel configuration and should be the same "chemistry" as your existing batteries due to the existing charge controller settings.
Thanks for the heads up.
It's to warm up crystallized honey
