Question:
Are the Rich Solar panels RS27VR and RS37VR compatible with lithium batteries?

Expert Reply:
Yes! The Rich Solar panels and kits work great with lithium; the important thing is to make sure your charge controller supports lithium charging profiles. Many newer controllers do, but some older PWM types don’t. If you’re using a lithium battery like a Battle Born 100Ah, we recommend pairing this panel with a lithium-compatible MPPT controller to ensure proper voltage and charge cycles. Also, in case you want a specific compatibility list, here you go: lithium, gel, AGM, wet, crystal, calcium lead.
Luckily the Rich Solar kits have the necessary panels AND controllers, so you won't have to worry. If you can let me know which batteries you are trying to charge, and what your solar goals are, I can help narrow down a kit.
