I agree - so if in parallel, should I just get a PWM that can be set for lithium? My current CC does not have a lithium setting, so I will be buying something.

I guess what I am trying to determine is if I would get "better charging" if I were to switch my 3 panels to series and get a MPPT CC or keep my current parallel set up and use a PWM designed for Lithium battery charging. From what I can tell the answer is "it depends" on the application--- if...

Thanks for the replies..... If I go with parallel (12V) panels (due to shading) would there still be an efficiency gain from a MPPT controller or would a PWM controller be more efficient? (not considering the price difference between controllers)

Posted on the newbie forum, but did not get any responses.....Switching to 200AH lithium on my travel trailer and need to purchase a new charge controller. Which got me thinking, should I be switching my 3 x 100W panels from parallel to series and getting a MPPT? Or should I stick with my...

Thanks for the replies.... Another question... my system currently has a Victron battery monitor, is there any reason to keep this as my BMS will have Bluetooth capability? Any harm in leaving it?

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while and am going to attempt an "easy, low cost", build to replace my 215ah Lead acid battery bank with EVE230 cells. Going to follow a build that Will had posted, but as I look closer at the details, some questions have come up. First, main components will be...
