Looking for the proper PWM or MPPT charge controller settings for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries?

Fortunately, Morningstar has partnered with many lithium battery brands over the years to determine optimal controller settings. Additionally, Morningstar has engineered special features into select controllers to better support lithium battery charging (e.g. low temperature foldback charging, interactive meters that enable quick and easy charge setting adjustments, alert notifications, and remote monitoring capabilities). Read further here to learn about the steps we recommend to obtain the proper settings.

CASE STUDY

Morningstar’s ProStar™ MPPT & EMC-1

Provide an Efficient Solution for Maximum Uptime

Fueled by the rising cost of materials along with concerns about rising criminal activity, construction sites, retail locations, and other businesses are increasingly seeking effective surveillance systems.

ECAMSECURE’s mobile surveillance units (MSUs) are portable, off-grid units with the form factor of a small trailer on wheels, and can accommodate a variety of security devices from cameras to lights. MSUs can draw power from 800W+ of solar panels and a 200-800Ah+ battery bank or a diesel generator. In the case of batteries, lithium-ion is the first choice for this application because it provides the best capacity in limited space and the longest lifespan for simplified maintenance. Read the case study here to learn why Morningstar’s ProStar MPPT and EMC-1 were selected for these units.
