Can you charge LiFePO4 batteries with different capacities and SOC in parallel?

4 batteries in parallel, different capacities, different state of charges. What could possibly go wrong??? Well, maybe nothing if it is LiFePO4. We explore how these batteries react when we connect and charged them in parallel.
This test was, once again, requested from some of my viewers and in today's workshop, we will find out what is going to happen.
I prepared four 51V batteries with different SOC and connected them in parallel. I started charging this setup from solar as well as from my other large battery bank to increase the current. A bit too much at one stage but nothing serious happened!
We can see and explore why LiFePO4 is so easy to parallel and use. With the help of a sponge, I explain exactly what happens with these batteries and why LiFePO4 is safer and more forgiving than other chemistries.
