Hey guys and gals....so first off I am somewhat of a noob to this. I purchased a Missouri Wind and Solar 1.6 kw 12v wind turbine a couple years ago and finally bought a house so I want to put it up with a few solar panels to have some emergency power. I have a Renogy MPPT charge controller for the Solar but as far as wind all I have is the 440 amp charge controller with divert relay that the turbine came with. This would be fine with tbe AGM batteries I was originally going to use but I decided to buy 3 100ah LifePo4 batteries.
What are my options for a charge controller for the wind turbine that will be safe for the lithium bats without going broke? Is there a way I can make my existing charge controller safely work with them without destroying them or causing a fire? I know there are Chinese hybrid wind and solar controllers that state they work for lithium but I don't know enough about them. If there is a way to use my existing charge controller or another inexpensive one please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
