GimmyTree Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I have just ordered a very pricey LiFePO4 battery to go with my 160 watt solar panel. Now I want a MPPT controller and I was hoping someone here could confirm this is the correct controller for the battery and panel. I believe it is the correct controller but I would like a second opinion please.

vermilye Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'm using a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 with a pair of Battleborn batteries. So far it works great.
