Will Morningstar Solar Controllers work with Lithium Ion batteries?
Posted by Morningstar Corporation on Jun 24th 2019
Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT, TriStar (PWM), ProStar MPPT, ProStar (Gen3), and SunSaver MPPT solar charge controllers support Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and other battery technologies such as:
- Lead Acid (PbSO4): Sealed (VRLA, AGM, Gel) and Flooded
- Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion or LIB)
- Lithium Iron Phosphate (“LFP”, LiFePO4)
- Lithium Iron Magnesium Phosphate (LiFeMgPO4)
- Lithium Manganese Oxide (“LMO”, LiMn2O4)
- Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (“NMC”, LiNixMnyCozO2)
- Nickel–Cadmium (NiCd or NiCad)
- Nickel–Metal Hydride (NiMH or Ni–MH)
- Nickel–Iron (NiFe)
- Nickel–Zinc (NiZn)
- Aqueous Hybrid Ion (Aquion or AHI™)
- Flow or Redox Flow Battery
- Vanadium Redox (VRB)
- Zinc–Bromine (ZnBr2)
- Zinc–Cerium (Zn-Ce)
All of the above-mentioned Morningstar controllers offer custom programming to create pre-configured plug and play settings that can be tailored for most types of batteries.
