Parallel different brand lifepo4 batteries together?
Said to be clones by Will Prowse,can you parallel an Enjoybot(100ah) and a Zooms(100ah) with both about the same usage since new? Any risk like shorter lifespan or anything else? Thanks..

How well it will work depends on the product quality. With LiFePO4 the product lines are still new enough that I'd be careful doing it.
I would not be in any hurry to do it myself.. but I suspect it will be ok.
Ya,I'm not really in a hurry to do it either except it is just another unsolved mystery of lifepo4 with battery makers saying only use the same brand batteries in parallel and others saying it is just fine,like Will Prowse and others..Confusing..
The only reason I asked was I have been running two compressor fridges 24/7 with one in freezing mode(8F) and the other refer mode(32F)..One 100ah battery and one 100 watt solar panel keeps up in really good sun but on a rainy day like yesterday,I had three 100 watt panels hooked up and could not keep up therefore draining that 100ah battery faster than I like,it would last maybe three days..Paralleling would increase that..
