Two products from the Lensun Solar catalog motivate my questioning here.
The first is one of their MPPT Charge controllers. This one: https://www.lensunsolar.com/Products/Solar-controller?product_id=534
It claims, with what appears to be no user configuration, to be able to charge batteries of various common chemistries.
As much as I have an inquiry into Lensun on how they do that, and as much as readers, I appreciate, aren't Lensun product specialists, I was hoping someone might offer an unbiased explanation of this process. My point being--need I tell you--different chemistry batteries have different charging profiles. So how does the controller here know what type of battery it is dealing with? Does the controller poll the battery in some way, or perhaps does the controller use some generic charging algorithm?
The second question concerns some of the company's vehicle hood (bonnet if you will) starter battery trickle charging products. I thought Will (maybe this was a while back) said flexible solar panels are ultimately doomed to failure crap. Is this system not eventually likely to break (e.g. https://www.lensunsolar.com/Products/Hood-Solar-Panel/Jeep-Hood-Solar)?
TIA
