Gel Battery Upgrades:
Up to 12 Gel batteries total can be used on this kit.
Battery upgrades should be done within 6 months of purchasing to avoid significant age differences. Warranties are affected if upgrading outside this range.

Lithium Battery Upgrades:
This type of lithium battery is highly expandable (up to 160 batteries) but consideration must be made for racking and correct cabling.
Battery upgrades should be done within 6 months of purchasing to avoid significant age differences. Warranties are affected if upgrading outside this range.

Solar Panel Upgrades:
We recommend a maximum of 24 panels on this controller.
This controller has 2 MPPT inputs. This is great for expandability as both arrays are completely independent so they can be of different size, facing or panel type to each other.
