1.4 Proper usage
The solar charge controller, hereinafter named as the controller or device, may only be used in
stand-alone photovoltaic systems for charging and controlling the following types of battery.
n MPPT 6000-S: lead acid batteries
n MPPT 6000-M: lead acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries (Li-Ion), nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd)
When the device is used with lithium-ion systems, an external battery management system (BMS)
must be present to provide the protection and safety functions necessary for such systems (e.g.
temperature monitoring, safety switch-off, equalisation of cell voltages). These functions are not
provided by the MPPT 6000-M/S.
NOTICE!
MPPT 6000-M: In a networked system with MPPT 6000-M and MPPT 6000-S devices, the
charging of Li-Ion and NiCd batteries is only possible using a Master/Slave system controlled by
the MPPT 6000-M. The charging of Li-Ion and NiCd batteries via the MPPT 6000-S is deactivated
as soon as the MPPT 6000-M is no longer active in the network.
