Solar Charge settings for 14.4V LI-ion Battery

The battery specs I have are: 14.4V, 16500mAh, 237.6Wh Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

The 110V charger that came with the battery has a 16.7V, 4.0A 66W output.

Could I charge this battery with a 100/10 charge controller?


Thanks in advance!

In principle, yes, but you need more info about the battery. Specifically max charge current, absorption and float voltages. You also need a solar panel configuration that gives out about 20V or more.

In principle it should be okay. Specifically, it is necessary to check whether the charging and discharging voltage of the lithium battery matches the DC input voltage range of the charge controller.


It would be more helpful if you could provide battery parameters, and controller parameters.

Battery parameters come from the battery maker, not from Victron. The ones I mentioned need to be configured by you in the controller. This can be done over the Bluetooth interface, using the free Victron connect application.
