They are the most popular budget solar controller. All settings and parameters are adjustable to suit lifepo4.
The EPEver 'Solar Station Monitor' software is recommended - load it on a laptop and connect with the proprietary RS485 cable - good to go.
Let's of input here on best settings, but each system is a bit different, so it's best to start from basic default settings and fine tune from there.
The default LI Battery settings are an option in the program.
I have a Tracer Xtra - their newest version - seems to work well. I have a 12V mobile system - in a motorhome.I h
I use WIFI as well, I like it. I use 2 charge controllers one is Epever one is Renogy both rated at 100V max.They are quite easy to program. I have a 30A AN. I quite like it.
I suggest getting the wifi adapter, I found it quite reliable, the USB cable not really.

Just bought CHINS 12V 50Ah LiFePO4 Battery and concerned now after reading all the info out there so many views it is daunting.
I use Epever software V 1.95 CC is a 2210A model. Battery arrived with info and I plan on using what they recommend.
Software parameter settings are my hurdle, I was using that 1st parm selection since I had a a SLA battery I clicked "read"
and only changed volts and Ah for battery. However I see a 2nd parameter choice says "LIPO" arrangement should I just use that instead?
And if so will it read my CHINS battery OR should I manually change things and to what specs?
Thank you it is all a learning curve for sure.
No.voltage measured by charge controller is slightly off should I offset the diference
Ok I sm using jk bms with balancer. It has calibrate option and I calibrated it with my voltmeter and the two(bms and scc) are really of.No.
The battery static voltage at present is what that is showing.
It ‘could’ be off for one reason or another, but while batteries are charging the battery voltage will show lower than solar charge controller may actually potentially be capable of; you want the SCC to curb output before the BMS’s cut you off.
Does your model have the separate battery voltage sense wire?Ok I sm using jk bms with balancer. It has calibrate option and I calibrated it with my voltmeter and the two(bms and scc) are really of.
NoDoes your model have the separate battery voltage sense wire?
Ok long time no write. Actually I noticed it has a seperate battery sense terminals. You were right but I did not notice it. Got everything rewired with 50mm2 cable. Seriously oversquared . No diference. Then i connected this voltage sense wires and there it is. All voltages match, the charging is now constant and it works great. The epever custommer support was a big help!! They actually helped me tremendously.Does your model have the separate battery voltage sense wire?
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but are you saying that the EPEver BN series MPPT has separate battery sense leads that can be hooked up?Ok long time no write.

Also got the usb cable to computer working. It is farely easy. If anibody is interested I can write more obout it.
