| I doubt that anyone would want to run batteries made of two different chemistries in parallel,but if you restricted the voltage range of the inverter to that of the LiFePO4 cells, then it's theoretica... | ||

| @transparent makes sense... In general they look very similar. But to add a battery made of sodium cells we would probably need a separate inverter to one already supplying lithium. And I can see the ... | ||
