<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:times new roman,serif;font-size:large">Hi Chris, I have used the above configuration with success. Here are some background ideas. I have done some simpliphi installs however I am old and these are five to 7 years ago. The Simpliphi's I installed had a top balance BMS. (When one of the cells reaches full charge voltage, the BMS bypasses the full cell and reduces the charge current to the 'top-balance' current. The Simpliphi's I installed over two years became out of balance because the small amount of 'top-balance' current did not complete the charge on some of the cells. With some cells having a low state of charge the battery shuts down for lack of charge, acting with lower capacity. This was my case, cured by putting the batteries on an on-grid charger for an extended period. The solution is to have the system charge faster such that the CC could hold the batteries in top balance. I have not had enough experience with other Li batteries to comment on their BMS. And maybe the new batteries have a higher top balance current a faster to reach full charge. sorry for the poor explanation. The Simpliphi to be CC agnostic. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 10, 2021 at 12:31 PM Maverick Brown <<a href="mailto:maverick@mavericksolar.com">maverick@mavericksolar.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Chris,<div><br></div><div>It should be fine.
