Due to space limitations and weight distribution considerations, I really need to be able to split up my battery bank, unless it's a completely unworkable solution.
It will be a 24V bank, consisting of eight 6-V batteries... two parallel strings of 4 batteries each.
The two 4-battery strings to be paralleled would need to be separated by a distance of ~ 2 feet, but the distance the cables between each string would have to run is ~ 3 feet. The batteries within each string would be right next to each other, so the series connections would be very short.
The distance from one string to the inverter would be negligible... it will be mounted within a foot or so of the closest parallel branch.
Is this a feasible scenario? Will this cause any significant problems with battery balancing, inductance, or any other variables I may not even be thinking of at the moment. If there are problems with this arrangement, are there steps that can be taken to mitigate them?
Thanks!
