Phoenix Multiplus charger/inverter compatibility with LiPo batteries

On a recently acquired boat, I would like to replace my six AGM deep cycle 335Ah 6V batteries with three ACES AL12V400HFA-BT LiPo 400 Ah batteries. These batteries have internal battery management, and the following specs (per cell, and there will be three of them):

ACES AL12V400HFA-BT Li-Po
capacity 100 Ah
Cont. Discharge Current 100A
Peak Discharge Current 350 A
Max charge current 100A
Rec. charge current 10-50A
Nominal Voltage 12.8v
BMS cutoff voltage 10v (internal BMS)
charge end voltage range 14.2 - 14.6v
charge characteristic CC / CV

I would like to know if the following battery charger will work with these batteries:

Shore Power charger/inverter: "Victron Phoenix Multiplus 12v 3000VA 120A VE.Bus Inside”

If not, I would like to know what equipment changes need to be made in order to use the LiPo batteries.


thanks

Bruce

This is a very old unit but you should be able to acess its setting with a MK2 usb interface (NOT a MK3) the mk2 is a older one and from memory you needed one of these to access its VE-Bus and use ve configure to set it up
