A solar panel can only connect to one Solar Controller, so no it will not ork. However there are options. I would connect the Solar to the Lithium bank and then use something like a Cyrix-Li-Ct or maybe even a DC-DC Charger such as the Orion TR Smart to join the two batteries when charging is required.

Hi Ewan, In my experience, a charge controller (CC) is not always appropriate for hydro. That''s because when the battery gets fully charged, the CC stops drawing current from the hydro generator / alternator, which without a load, might run much faster than when loaded, and consequently could wear out quickly or be damaged by excessive vibration.

Learn MoreBefore using your charge controller, make sure to set the voltage and current correctly by adjusting the voltage settings. Here's a breakdown of the most important voltage settings for the solar charge controller: Absorption Duration: You can choose between Adaptive (which adjusts based on the battery's needs) or a Fixed time.
This capacity typically dictates the rating of your solar charge controller and ranges from 10A up to 100A. Knowing how to configure the solar charger controller settings according to your specific solar battery type for an effective solar energy system can significantly enhance the charging efficiency.
For a 24V residential solar power system, the settings on the charge controller are critical for efficient operation. You'll typically find these settings in the user manual for your specific controller, but here are some standard ones: The Battery Floating Charging Voltage should be set to 27.4V.
They set up the output parameters of the power so that the battery bank can be charged at the most optimal voltage. Setting up a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) solar charge controller involves configuring various parameters to ensure efficient charging and protection of your battery bank.
Here's a breakdown of the most important voltage settings for the solar charge controller: Absorption Duration: You can choose between Adaptive (which adjusts based on the battery's needs) or a Fixed time. Absorption Voltage: Set this to 14.60 volts. Automatic Equalization: You can disable this or set it to equalize every certain number of days.
There are two types of solar charge controller: PWM controllers and MPPT controllers. Both of them control and distribute the output current and the output voltage in the system. PWM uses pulse modulation. MPPT uses maximum power point tracking techniques.
