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 ...

Hi Slownsy,
As you have not purchased the controller yet why not run all the panels in series? I run 900w at 115v to a Victron 150/60 thru 12m of 10ga. Victron has a deep product line so I am sure once you get your volt tally you’ll be able to find the right controller. The ability to adjust via bluetooth is great(as long as you buy the Victron controller with that option or buy the bluetooth dongle to add to a non BT Victron).
A nice option with the Victrons is the ability to set the Float Tail Amps, allowing me to set the Tail Amps to match my approx. hourly usage. Not really necessary, but nice nonetheless.
