I am building a 12v 280ah lifepo4 battery as detailed in this forum.
I currently have Lead Acid Deap Cycle Batteries connected to a CBE charge controller and MPPT (set for Lead Acid).
The battery will charge from the van, shore power or solar. Most of the time it's full from solar alone.
When I replace the battery with a Lifepo4 with JBD/Overkill BMS, I should change the MPPT controller to Lithium but do I need to change the shore and van charging to a system that supports lithium or will the BMS be able to manage the charge from the CBE charging even though it does not support lithium.
If not should I just replace the MPPT with the DC-DC unit Will recommends for an alternator system as to date I have never used the shore power.
Thanks in advance and sorry for what is possibly a silly question...
