A. No, different batteries are designed for different purposes. Mixing a lithium battery with an alkaline battery will not improve device performance. In fact, it will reduce performance and may even damage your device or cause battery leakage or rupture. As well, do not mix different battery brands within a device.
Each battery is grid connected through a dedicated 630 kW inverter. The lead–acid batteries are both tubular types, one flooded with lead-plated expanded copper mesh negative grids and the other a VRLA battery with gelled electrolyte.
With a lead acid battery bank, the internal resistances are limiting to a point that you don’t have to worry about arcing or your battery cables overheating when you connect them (not the case with lithium-ion banks…). So when we start charging, all of the battery banks are very close to the same point as far as state of charge.
Lead batteries cover a range of different types of battery which may be flooded and require maintenance watering or valve-regulated batteries and only require inspection.
The lead–acid batteries are both tubular types, one flooded with lead-plated expanded copper mesh negative grids and the other a VRLA battery with gelled electrolyte. The flooded battery has a power capability of 1.2 MW and a capacity of 1.4 MWh and the VRLA battery a power capability of 0.8 MW and a capacity of 0.8 MWh.
As well, do not mix different battery brands within a device. Doing so will reduce overall performance and may also cause battery leakage or rupture. We recommend using the same type of batteries within a device.
