[RE-wrenches] Conext MPPT60-150 controller and LFP batteries

[Maverick Brown]

Chris,

It should be fine. I have a few deployments using LFP batteries, including SimpliPhi 3.8s on XW-MPPT60-150, etc.

I figured since Fortress and Discover have similar documents, SimpliPhi would as well:

I recommend upgrading the charge controller to the latest v1.09 software. If you don’t  have a COMBOX or setup tool, that may be harder than doable.

Good Luck!

His charge controller is the Schneider Conext MPPT60-150; I’m looking at the specs for it and am wondering if it will really accommodate the lithium technology?  We had problems with older Schneider products (and poor product support) and have generally shied away from them, so any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
