I wanted to be sure I set the device to the correct battery type. According to the manual - https://watts247.com/manuals/mpp/PIP-LV-MR/PIP-LV-MR 3K manual-20200428.pdf?x49702 it is set as a default to use AGM batteries.
From Will's video on the device I see he was using 2 SOK 12 volt Lithium batteries so I assumed they are to use. I purchased two SOK marine 12 volt/200amp hour batteries. https://www.sokbattery.com/products/sok-12v-206ah-lifepo4-battery
Do I need to set it to 'User Defined' (page 15, setting #5 in the manual) and then make explicit settings for settings #26 (Bulk charging voltage), #27 (Floating charging voltage) and #29 (Low DC cut-off voltage)
I see on the each of the 12 volt batteries it says the max charging voltage is 14.6 volts and max charging current is 50 amps.
Any help with the setting would be appreciated. Perhaps it's ok to just leave it as AGM? I noticed in the video that setting wasn't mentioned so perhaps it's not that important.
This is for a little houseboat I'm rebuilding. I'll ultimately have it on this boat wired to shore power for when I'm at a marina and I was planning on 2 of these panels as the max solar input says 750 Watts - https://store.santansolar.com/product/ht-solar-375w-72-cell-mono-solar-panel/
Any help will be appreciated!
