I have some 36v LiFePO4 packs that are 12s4p. I am trying to combine them for a solar adventure van project (the van will still be gas).
I could add a BMS to each pack and then wire them in parallel with each other. Or I could wire each parallel set together to make one battery with one BMS. Is there a rational for or against either case? These are used batteries so they are not matched cells between packs but does that make for big problems? I see mixed cell packs regularly in builds.
I do already have an Ant BMS good for 400amps or so which would be more than enough to run the 3000W 36V inverter
