I have a Conext 60-150 with a (4)LifePo4 pro Lossigy Batts (12v 100Ah deep cycle Lithium 100A BMS) phosphate in a 24 volts system. But in the MPPT I can’t select a lithium option because in the bat option menu only appears (Gel / AGM / flooded) any suggestions to setting up correctly? Thanks in advance

    Use the custom battery menu and use open loop setpoints recommended by Battery manufacturer.

    What model of MPPT do you have? Does it need to be updated?
    If not, you can choose AGM type and adjust the charging parameters manually.

    Hello @Chris graham thanks for responding. My model is Schneider Conext MPPT 60 150. I don’t know how i can check if the version can be updated (I don’t know the process too). About the type the problem is if i select AGM the solar changer select a values by default and i don see option to change 😭. Look like i need another tool like a SCP to modify.

    Yea! you need the scp! Did NOT KNOW YOU DID NOT HAVE A CONTROLLER IN THE SYSTEM!  Sorry for the caps. The Store here sells them!

    You do need the exact right part number !

    Can't remember as I have not used this controller over the HV model in 10 years... Look up in the manual for mppt 60 if it can go into advanced settings by pushing the 3 left buttons at once. If it can, 
     you should be able to find the custom battery menu. You might need the controller for this but...

    Post here if it works and it might help someone else!
