Hello Everyone,
I am new here. I have been scouring the web for an answer to this question. I really hope you can help me!
If I have 2 batteries, both use the same lithium ion cell, one has a higher capacity than the other, both use the same voltage, discharge and charging curve. Why is it bad?
In a nutshell, I have an electric car. The OEM pack was made by Tesla and uses 18650 cells in a 92s48p configuration. The pack uses 2600 mah cells. The pack is about 3-4 years old.
I want to add an additional pack to be run in parallel with the OEM pack. My pack will also use 18650 cells although I want to go with 3400 mah cells. It will be in a 92s31p configuration.
I keep hearing that it cant be done and I am going to set my car on fire, my house on fire and kill my family..... After reading thread after thread all day today I cant find a reason this cannot be done, just hyperbole. Please help!
