<div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">RE: Closed loop communications\u2026 I have a customer who needs to replace his old AGMs; he\u2019s looking at getting something like 2500ah @ 24V and wants LFPs. This is a battery based, grid tie system. His equipment is a pair of XW4024s (Schneider \u2013 and he has NO interest in replacing his inverters) and three Classic (Midnite) charge controllers. I\u2019m concerned with integrating the LFPs with his old inverter, but his Classics, I believe, can be reprogrammed to accommodate the LFPs. This system was installed around 2015 so the equipment is not new \u2013 but it\u2019s basically been humming along until a couple of weeks ago, when there was a week of 60 to 90 MPH winds that killed the power for a while. This is near Boulder, CO (at 9000 ft elevation). His system worked fine til his old AGMs gave out. Their power was out for ~3 days, then came on for 2 days, then went out again for a couple of days. So he realized how undersized and old his batteries were.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If he gets some new LFPs, do you think they\u2019ll work with this vintage equipment? Any of your wonderful advice to pass along!? I\u2019m thinking the Classics can dial in the settings he needs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, y\u2019all!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoAutoSig">Chris Daum<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoAutoSig">Oasis Montana Inc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoAutoSig">406-777-4309 or 4321<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoAutoSig">406-777-4309 fax<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div>
