[RE-wrenches] Older Sunny Islands charging newer Lithium's

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

AES is closed loop with 7 inverter manufacturers (not Outback and I do 
not know why) including SMA. Not sure on the particulars but you should 
check them out with Lync2 interface. I just use them closed loop with XW 
and they can charge 40% faster.
