It would be kind of you to tell your seller about that mistake, the 200Ah smart lithium costs around 2000€.

@atwijukye@mrc.gm You have a generous supplier in giving extra battery capacity .

You will need to read the Lithium Battery Smart manual. to learn how to pick a BMS that will suit your battery usage.

You must use a BMS with the LSB to protect the battery from destructive over / under voltage situations, and cell damaging temperature extremes.

@klim8skeptic i bought these batteries almost eight months back and i discovered this error this week. The problem is that both the 200 and 100Ahr batteriy are the same in size (same dimensions) with almost the same weight. I have a victron V.E bus BMS. What do u think will happen if i connect the 200hr battery with 11 other 100ahr batteries in a 48v system
