jd1923 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Many of us with older hulls with solar have the Blue Sky SC model SB2512iX-HV. The language on this webpage is a bit ambiguous: SB2512 – Sunforge LLC Prior to further research, or calling tech support, can anybody answer this yes/no Q? Can the Blue Sky SC model SB2512iX-HV be reprogrammed for LiFePO4 batteries? I'd rather wait but if not, I will purchase a 50A Victron SC to handle the current load and possible upgrade to an additional rooftop or portable solar.

mountainoliver Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Yes, for example the Battle Born folks provided the charge parameters for their batteries. Blue Sky Battle Born setup.pages I sent the BB folks a copy of the Blue Sky setup pages and they supplied the parameters that they wanted to see for the 3 BB batteries that I have. You will have to do the programming procedure as per the Blue Sky instruction manual. Very easy process.

Our Blue Sky gear has been incredibly dependable. I emailed tech support @ sunforge. Ryan replied next day with a very nice note offering his help. He supplied this link: https://sunforgellc.com/how-to-program-bse-charge-controllers-for-lifepo4-batteries/ This will be a last step after new MP2 inverter/charger and LI batteries are installed. Just good to know the old original Blue Sky SC can be reprogrammed. Thanks Sherry! 🙂 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

I replied as follows: “On our Oliver Forum, Sherry writes re you and your company. How great you are and how reliable the Blue Sky products are. She is just about always correct! I’ll let you know after I get new inverter and LiFePO4 batteries installed.” 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
