Maximum MPPT 150/70 Charge Current for Parallel Configuration

In my RV I am using Victron MPPT 150/70 to charge four SOK 12V 206ah lithium batteries mounted in parallel. The maximum charge current for 1 SOK battery is 50amps. Can I increase the charge current with 4 batteries in parallel?

When batteries are in parallel, you can add up the charge current. So at 50A per battery your limit is 200A. But... Make sure your cabling, fuses etc. can handle the current.

Your controller will limit charge current to 70A, should have been installed with cabling that can handle 70A, but worth checking.
