A question to the forum:
Any concerns combining a lead acid battery pack with a Lithium pack?
I have 108v electric escort currrently equipped with 18 6v lead acid
batteries.
I would like to upgrade it to 144v by adding twelve 100aH Lithium Cells.
Most likely I will need a separate charger for the Lithiums and an ethilon
BMS
to monitor them.
The advantages are clear notably less money spent(buying only 12 Li cells)
and it gives me
a preliminary working experience with the Lithiums as to how to balance and
monitor them.
When the Li technology gets better, cheaper, and easier to monitor then I
can invest in a
whole pack.
However what are the disadvantages and potential pitfalls?
Thanks,
Hazem
