Lithium batteries and new solar charger
I am replacing my 4 6V batteries I think 2 lithium, have never been impressed by the 30A PWM charger for my 600W solar, probably my fault for using 8 avg wire on a 9m run. Thinking if I get a Victron ...

Thanks Almot tha discharge spec for each battery is 300A continuous, I intend using 2 and can’t se where I would ever use more than about 200A when microwave on for whatever amount of minutes.
Charging for each recommendations is 50A normally or 100A occasionally, again with 2 batteries 100A should be fine?. I don’t know how long the Magnum charger will stay at 100A with the lithium,but with the flooded it tapered down pretty quickly. And this is only for in emergency when solar don’t do it’s job. I am not sure about the float charge but as I always run a inverter fridge 24/7 when using FW always a drain of 3-7A. If not using FW will turn all charging off.
