I'm new to solar and lithium and generally not strong in all things electrical. Hoping to benefit from the wisdom on this site!
I have a sailboat and decided to replace the house bank of AGM batteries with Lithium and upgrade the solar. It already had 3 x 345W flexible panels.
I found a contractor and In Septemeber, 2023 they replaced the existing AGM bank with 8 12 Volt 125Ah Lithium Deep Cycle Batteries. They were also going to upgrade the solar system.
The new solar tower was just installed last week with 4 x 405W solar panels.
When they went to connect everything they discovered that the existing solar (3X 345W) had been charging (since September) but that it was not compatible with the new lithium house bank.
They disconnected the system and ordered a new compatible charger.
My question is how can I test the new lithium batteries to make sure they are ok?
Thanks in advance for your expertise.
