How do I regulate the charging current? / Wie kann ich den Ladestrom regulieren?

Hello currently I have 8x 280Wp panels a Multiplus2 and mppt150/70 as batteries I have 2x 12v 230Ah AGM batteries connected to 24V. Now I would like to expand my system by 20x 250Wp panels. I would connect these with 2x mppt 100/50 but I wonder how I can limit the charging current but still use full power on the multiplus.

Glad about any help.

Greetings MrYoshii

Ich würde diese mit 2x mppt 100/50 anschliesen nur frage ich mich wie ich da denn ladestrom limitieren kann aber trozdem volle leistung am multiplus verwenden kann.

Freue mich über jede hilfe.

Charging current is limited by voltage and the MPPT capacity. So current is self limiting by what the AGM batteries will take. But that's a lot of solar for the battery capacity. It would be wise to add temperature sensors to cut charge rate when the batteries get hot.

Ok thanks and what would you take as maximum charge current? Apparently with AGMs yes max 12% of capacity.
For me, that would be dan only 27.6A. How do you see that?

Bei mir wären das dan ja nur 27.6A. Wie seht Ihr das?
