Jay,
I started recommending the Victron battery balancer for all series and
series/parallel Li battery banks. It has eliminated trouble in some problematic
systems. If you reach a cell over-voltage in the Kilovault BMS, it will block
current flow, preventing the other series batteries from charging. This also
causes havoc with connected equipment as the battery appears to have
disconnected.

Hi All
I’m wondering what the thoughts are on using or not balancers for 2 12v
lithium in series for 24v system. The batteries don’t have any series
communication.
Kilovault if that matters.
Not my design.
It would seem to be a good idea, with victron having a good one.
Thanks in advance
Jay
