Adding a battery to system

Currently, I have 3 12 volt 200 ah batteries in parallel for my house system. The batteries are Dakota Lithium and are a couple of years old. I am looking to add a 4th battery to my house system and set them up in series so that I can run a 48 volt inverter. How important is it that the additional battery be the same brand? I know that they wont be the same age, is there anything I can do to prevent wonky charging in the system?

Re: Adding a battery to system

Check with the original manufacturer if you can to see what their limits on combining are.
