Re: [electricboats] Parallel LiFePO4 Packs

Stew,
Thanks for the input. Check out The Off Grid Garage on YouTube. This guy has done a lot of testing with parallel banks and parallel cells. His testing makes it look like it's no big deal. He's also very entertaining.

Interesting article - thanks for posting - needs a few reads to fully understand!
I have had 2 x 16s sets in parallel (2 x 16 272Ah lifepo4 cells) set up with an Overkill 16s bms for each. I run them together but can switch out either bank if required. The bms allows monitoring of all cells.
The article has made me wonder whether I should rethink and set up as a single bank with cells paired but not sure to be honest. Probably will do more testing as is to see if any limitations.
