Can the Go Power 200 Watt Solar Flex Charging System Charge Lithium-Ion and Gel Batteries Together

Question:

OK I have a little bit of understanding about solar power but I have a lithium batteries are Heimir . Which means that the kicker battery that goes to the lithium batteries two of them. We know that we have to charge the lithium battery slower than normal Gel batteries. Question is this controller adjustable ? so I can adjust it down for the lithiums? Second question can it be shut off for example I have Voltstart on my Hymer Ativ 1.0 if it starts up I dont want alternator bellman, and Solar power going to kicker battery at the same time.

The Go Power Solar Flex Charging System part # 34272628 can charge two different battery banks separately. Therefore, you can charge both the lithium-ion and gel battery banks at different rates. There would be one profile for the lithium-ion battery/bank and another profile for the gel battery/bank which would charge them at different rates so it is adjustable in that sense.

In regards to killing power to either bank, the device will do this for you once the battery/bank is fully charged but you could do this yourself by installing an inline battery disconnect like the Epicord Battery Disconnect Switch with Key part # 277-000096.
