If I were in your position, I would make a 2nd bank, and get an "AB" switch to go from one bank to the other- they would be separate, but would use the same charging systems, and give you 2400Wh of additional power.

If you join the two sets, they should both be the same type of battery- LiFePO4 with same type and voltage. Amps isn't the issue as much as type and voltage.


You can get solar charge controllers with dual battery banks too.

This device below can be your AB switch. When the big batteries get low, you just switch over to smaller set.
