I would recommend installing the new charger if you can:Would keeping the 30amp charger I am currently using work until I get the LiFePO4 set up instead?
1) Limit the amp output with an SCC setting. My Victron does this,
2) Limit solar panels so you get no more than 20 amps.
With the 30 amp charger and FLAs, you could still over charge, so the same two items above will apply.
WIth data you have already, going from 12 to 24 wattts with the same panels will produce just as many watts, but at twice the volts and half the amps. For me, once I get the 24 volts set up with the current 4 X 6 volt golf cart batteries, I’ll get some data before I drop in a much bigger lithium battery.
