    Converting to Lithium how to connect?

    Currently I have a 6–7-year-old AGM bank of 105-amp full river batteries that are starting to age - at this stage about 65% of their original CCA capacity. There are 32 of them.
    I am looking at 12x 130-amp Lithium batteries, but the manufacturer says that only 6 can be connected together.
    Is it just a case of separating the banks of 6 using a diode? I'm assuming 100amp is sufficient?
    There are 3 different solar panel arrays feeding into 3x 80-amp controllers but obviously never all work together at max
    It's a 12volt system feeding into a 2kw inverter and partly runs the house.
    Thanks, David

    Why not just go larger 200+ Ah (equiv) batteries Converting to Lithium how to connect?

    Thanks Tombie, I really think I need the same capacity. 6x200 =1200 amps & 12x130 =1560 amps. The current 32x105 amp AGM @ 50% = 1680 amps - whilst they are down on that I would not think towards 1200.
    I should add that these batteries BMS supports 6 in parallel.

    Enerdrive does a 300ah that can be combined to achieve >1500+ ah (equiv)
