The battery can also be charged by solar panels if they are connected to a
charger that is suitable for charging LiFePO4 batteries. The Imperium
IMP004 40A DC-DC Charger, with built in MPPT, is ideal for this. Because
of the MPPT technique this charger gets the maximum efficiency from
your Solar panels. You can also charge the battery while driving. For this
you need to use a so-called charge booster, see paragraph 3.4.
