I have 480W of solar (4x120W) and am thinking of getting 2 of these 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries. This is for a 2016 RAM Promaster with a stock 180A alternator that I'd also like to tie into but don't know how yet...
I found a 40A MPPT charge controller that claims to work with LiFePO4 in addition to gel, sealed, and open types.
Is this possible? What am I missing?
I believe the batteries each need a BMS but the ad for the batteries mentions BMS. The seller of the charge controller said the 200Ah LiFePO4 bank could only handle up to 200W - how is that possible if the batteries are rated at ~80A charge/discharge and the charge controller is only 40A at 480W?
