<font size="2">I'm also running the EG4 server rack 24V 200 Ahr
batteries with my old Outback VFX 3524, Classic 250 and<br>
Morningstar Genstar 100, all open loop with no problem. It's all a
matter of getting the charge settings right and<br>
checking on the cell balance periodically.<br>
<br>
I'll be playing around with programming the Genstar for closed
loop soon, should be fine but then, what to do<br>
with the Classic.....we'll see how it goes.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear people:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a customer in Henryetta,
Oklahoma, and he’s been buying various equipment
from us over the years. He’s elderly, a veteran,
and a believer in solar power. But he’s been having
battery problems (he’s got twelve 6V L16 types at
present) and is interested in moving up to LFPs.
He’s got an Outback VFX3524, FM60, MATE3S, Hub4 and
the usual accoutrements. If he wants to go with
LFPs, what are your suggestions – and also how might
it integrate with his 3-year old inverter? I
suspect he will be unwilling to spend a chunk of
change on a new inverter. All advice is welcome!</p>
