Is the solar charge controller compatible with "LiFePo4 chemistry" batteries?

Yes, but it depends on your battery setup. the DOKIO charge controller included with the 200W foldable solar panel kit can be configured for LIFEPO4 batteries (battery setting B03). But, the manual only describes usage for a 12V LIFEPO4 12v 4s setup (4s = 4 cells at 3.2V each, 12.8 volts in series). This is a solid little 4-stage PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charge controller. PWM charge controllers typically run 80% efficient. It is free with the panels so it costs you nothing to determine if it meets your needs. The more expensive MPPT charge controllers typically run >95% efficient so if maximizing the amount of usable power from your panels is important you will want to upgrade to an MPPT controller at some point. DOKIO charge controller details: 12v 20Amp 2 USB ports (5v max 2A) that can be used without battery attached 3 battery type settings B01, B02, B03 Lead-Acid Setting B01 = charges at 13.7V Low Volt cutoff = 10.7V Low Volt reconnect 12.6V Lithium Ion 3s (3 x 3.7 V = 11.1V) Setting B02 = charges at 12.6V Low volt cutoff = 9.0V Low volt reconnect = 10.5V LIFEPO4 4s (3 x 3.2V = 12.8V) Setting B03 = charges at 14.6V Low volt disconnect 10.0V Low volt reconnect 12.0V PWM vs MPPT Efficiency comparison (eg: panels generating 17.7V x 9.2A = 163 watts) PWM controller 80%, 163watts x .8 = 130watts usable MPPT controller 95%, 163watts = 155watts usable

Can i charge lithium batteries?

Yes. Mine puts out about 15 amps max

Is it plug compatible with any portable generators?

SAE connectors aren’t great, 10AWG is small dia, but the included XT60 can connect to many “solar generators” (including AC200 from Bluetti) which are more-accurately called “power stations”. Review by Bob Wells is laudatory. More than enough “adaptors” included.....

Can this be connected directly to a solar generator?

The panels are connected to the controller with SAE (2 flat). If you are looking to directly connect them to a portable generator, you will need to purchase an adaptor.
