GoodWe hybrid inverter GW20K-ET

[Chrisgraham]

Hello everyone

I just bought a GoodWe hybrid inverter GW20K-ET, unfortunately it only has one battery connection. On this connection the hybrid inverter can charge/discharge the battery with 50A. GoodWe offers Lynx F Plus+ batteries that can be connected in parallel. This battery can be charged/discharged with a maximum current of 25A.

The question is: if you connect two of these batteries in parallel, can you charge and discharge them with a total of 50A, or only with 25A? Does anyone have any information here?

Thanks for any insights!

Short answer: yes

Long answer: you just have to make sure that both batteries have the same capacity better connected in parallel. Otherwise there could be issues later on down the road
If they don't have the same capacity it's possible that one battery would get charged before the other one and then could potentially be trying to charge one at a higher amperage than they should be
