Gel cell batteries and mppt 100/50

I have 4 Energel 6EG160 (6v 160Ah) batteries I will connect in series/parallel to have 12V 320Ah.

This controller is correct for my solar panels I intend to use.

I would like to know if your Victron Smart Solar MPPT 100/50 would be ok to charge these?

Thanks, Roj

I can't see any reason why the Smart Solar MPPT 100/50 would not work.

Be aware that there is some good reading to be found on cable lengths etc. for parallel battery banks. (search this forum)

Remote battery voltage/temperature sensing for your MPPT is also a good thing.
