Hi Everyone,

I'm finally switching to LifePo4 batteries and decided on LiTime, specifically their new 12V 560AH battery with Low Temp Protection.

I also ordered their 60A MPPT charger with Bluetooth but now I'm having doubts the controller can handle my solar array comprised of 6 Kyocera KD185 GX LPU's, wired in a Parallel/Series configuration.... 

Here are the specs for the panels and controller, hopefully this will work because I already ordered all items :

As a reference, my current Outback FM80 is setup exactly the same way with no problems whatsoever, charging a 12v battery bank (Currently 2 Crown CR430)

-Panel Specs: Kyocera KD185GX-LPU (6 panels in Parallel/Series, 2 strings in series of 3 panels wired in parallel giving approximately 46Volts going into the Controller)

Open Voltage 29.5V
Short Circuit Current 8.58A

-LiTime 60A MPPT Charger with Bluetooth specs:
Max panel Input 900w for 12v, 1800w for 24v, 2600w for 36v, 3200w for 48v

Max Solar Input Voltage: 150V

Battery Voltage 9v-64v

If for some reason this will not work with just one 60A charger, is there any way I could combine 2 together ? BTW I know I could use my Outback FM80 to do the job but kinda liked the Bluetooth option of the Litime to monitor Loads and Inputs. 

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it !!!
