Battery usage, charging balancing for different types of batteries.
This my be so hard it would be ridiculous to try to do it, but if I had a string of two deep cycle flooded lead acid batteries and a string of two LiFePo4, I can see how easy it would be to run off both.
Is there a device in retail existence today that would let me run down the former to 50% SOC while running the latter down to 80% SOC? And then charging the former at the charge rate it can take and the latter at the much higher charge rate it can take?
This is mostly an exercise for me, not saying I'm about to go to it.
The obvious attractiveness to me is that I've already got two deep cycle lead acid in a place that would be very problematic (dimensions) to put LiFePo4, and I have a good place to add the latter to an interior compartment that would be more temperature stable. But not room for four there, and not wanting to spend for four.
