Can you mix lead-acid and lithium batteries?
For battery safety, we do not recommend combining different types of lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries. This is because the load characteristics and capabilities of these batteries are drastically different which can lead to safety issues.
Can you charge lithium and AGM together?
Many people have asked if you can use one together with the HP-40 Lithium battery. The short answer is yes. We recommend this because lithium batteries charge faster than AGM.
Can lithium batteries be connected in series?
LITHIUM BATTERIES YOU CAN CONNECT IN SERIES Many brands of lithium batteries can not be connected in series or parallel due to the configuration of their PCM or BMS. Power Sonic’s PSL-SC series of lithium batteries can be connected in series or parallel making them ideal for higher voltage or capacity applications.
How do you connect lead acid batteries in series?
To connect batteries in a series, use jumper wire to connect the negative terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Use another set of cables to connect the open positive and negative terminals to your application.
Can I use a lead-acid battery charger to charge a lithium battery?
You can use a lead acid charger on a lithium battery if you want, HOWEVER, you must NOT use a lead-acid charger if it has an automatic “equalisation mode” which cannot be permanently turned off.
Can a lead acid battery be connected to a lithium ion battery?
When you are looking to interconnect your lithium-ion batteries with your lead acid batteries, the only method we recommend is with a battery isolator or DC to DC charger in line between the two. The most common application of this set up is for alternator charging.

What happens when you mix lead acid and lithium victron?
You would loose a bit of effiiciancy but gain total control. A DC to DC converter could be used to take energy from one pack and push it into the other. This could be done in either direction, as required, and because you could buck or boost the voltage the state of either paak wouldnt limit your options. unless they were empty or full of course.
