Jay,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I started recommending the Victron battery balancer
for all series and series/parallel Li battery banks. It has
eliminated trouble in some problematic systems. If you reach a
cell over-voltage in the Kilovault BMS, it will block current
flow, preventing the other series batteries from charging. This
also causes havoc with connected equipment as the battery
appears to have disconnected.</div>

<div class="">Hi All<br class="">
<br class="">
I’m wondering what the thoughts are on using or not
balancers for 2 12v lithium in series for 24v system. The
batteries don’t have any series communication. <br
class="">
Kilovault if that matters. <br class="">
Not my design. <br class="">
<br class="">
It would seem to be a good idea, with victron having a
good one. <br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks in advance<br class="">
<br class="">
Jay<br class="">
