I agree as what is required is highly dependent on what your battery has and what your solar panels can output. However, this is very common and very doable. Many LiFePO4 batteries now have much of this built in as referred to on the other thread so the simple answer is yes.
For more detail- We have used PWM controllers on LiFePO4 batteries with great results. These are not as efficient as MPPT controllers (Morningstar has some nice ones) but are relatively simple, inexpensive (under $20 like the Kingmys 10A controller), CE listed and most allow you to do things like pump 8A into the batteries through a wired charger and charge them quickly as well as force your solar panels to charge the batteries at the right voltage and then stop whenever the battery is topped off. These can also protect your batteries from over discharging and may include other beneficial features. Cell balancers are also nice and will contribute to the life of the batteries. |
