BMV-600s to monitor lifepo4 4s 12v

Hi,
Can I use my older BMV-600s to monitor a 280ah 4S 12v lifepo4 battery?

It would be great to be able to reuse this if it will work?

What settings would I need to change.

Thank you,

Roger

Yes, this unit can be used for Lithium batteries.

Guideline settings, then tweak from there:
Set the Ah capacity of the battery.
Set the Charge Efficiency Factor (CEF) to 99%
Set Peukert to 1.15
Perform a manual sync. when you know that the battery is fully charged.
You might need to adjust the tail current to suit your particular battery.
