Using two or three inverters on same battery bank

I have three inverters (1000 W 24V; 3000 W, 24V and 4000 W, 24V)
Can I connect them simultaeneously on same battery bank to feed different loads.

Sure, as long as you battery bank is set up for24 volts..just be aware of how much power you are draining in order to rechage them properly.

Thank you indeed. Forgot to specify that the three are inverter chargers !! How will the charging go?

Re: Using two or three inverters on same battery bank

Ibraheem, it seems that no one is answering your last question about multiple inverter charging, so I will respond with my experience.  I have two inverters operating from the same battery bank, and they are charge inverters similar to yours.  I operate them in LBX (low battery transfer) mode, which has a programmable setpoint for recharge voltage level.  Invariably, one inverter will switch to recharge first and assume the charging function, thereby disabling the recharge mode for the other inverter.  There is no problem with this arrangement as either inverter can assume the job of charging the batteries, and the batteries don't care which inverter is taking care of them.  I hope that this answers your question.  :-)  Jon C.

I'm totally agree with you.You'r 100% good here that there is no problem with this arrangement as either inverter can assume the job of charging the batteries, and the batteries don't care which inverter is taking care of them.
