How do I connect a lithium ion battery to a lead acid battery?

When you are looking to interconnect your lithium-ion batteries with your lead acid batteries, the only method we recommend is with a battery isolator or DC to DC charger in line between the two. The most common application of this set up is for alternator charging.

Are lead acid and lithium ion batteries compatible?

These are in regards to interconnecting lead acid and lithium ion battery banks. As pioneers in this field, Battle Born Batteries is the go-to resource for lithium tech and battery safety. For battery safety, we do not recommend combining different types of lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries.

Can a lithium battery be used with a lead-acid battery?

Both lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries are rechargeable energy storage batteries, but they have very different characteristics. Without proper components in line to separate the two, the batteries cannot be used in conjunction. Please note that these components must meet the technical requirements, including protective measures.

Are lead acid and lithium ion battery banks interconnecting?

As lithium ion technology is becoming more readily available our team has noticed an outpour of questions. These are in regards to interconnecting lead acid and lithium ion battery banks. As pioneers in this field, Battle Born Batteries is the go-to resource for lithium tech and battery safety.

What is the difference between lithium and lead acid?

In addition to the voltage difference, lithium is also capable of charging and discharging much faster than lead acid. As a result of these differences, lithium has a very specific charging profile that must be met by your charger. You will want to confirm your current charger is able to fully and properly charge your lithium batteries.

Can I Tie my lithium battery bank directly to a lead-acid battery?

As a result of the previously mentioned differences, our team strongly suggests you do not tie your lithium battery bank directly to your lead-acid batteries.
