I'm curious Terry, Have you consulted with them over LFP charge parameters? I have picked up there TS60 and there is info that came from an installer from Australia about LFP settings.

No idea what their settings are, they are just too expensive to use in Australia. They are a good product and have separate voltage sensing input so they can be controlled via a BMS to stop charging if a cell goes high by including a voltage boosting circuit and double pole relay so the voltage sense sees normal battery voltage unless a cell goes high voltage, then the output to the voltage sensing is switched to the boosted voltage, maybe 14.8v or what ever the end of bulk charge voltage is set at to fool the charger into believing the battery is full and stop charging. They are one of the few controllers that can be paralleled into a group of MPPT chargers without one charger becoming dominant and the other dropping into float mode prematurely.
Victron's latest "Smart" range use a different method and that seems to be working quite well for us. Because their prices are better we have gone to using these when an MPPT controller is required.
