    Thank you for the reply. For me, peace of mind means a lot, and I don't trust my knowledge and abilities in this area enough to reach a confident peace of mind. Probably just get a new controller. Thanks again. :)

    I got a reply from the manufacturer that reads: It works with charging lithium batteries, but it doesn't have pre-settings for li-on. You have to set the parameters on your own. The major difference between this BN series and other so called lithium battery compatible chargers(Tracer AN...

    I sent the manufacturer a message and asked which MP50 works with this controller so I can mess with it a little before making a final decision. So, I will find out more then. This has been a good charge controller for my AGM battery, so we will see if I can get a handle on the settings. If I...

    The system met my needs with the 100 WH AGP battery, so that aspect is fine. I believe I left enough room to add a second battery if necessary down the road. I am just not sure if I need to update my charge controller with my lithium battery upgrade? Or can I just drop it in my existing setup?
