AES is closed loop with 7 inverter manufacturers (not Outback and I do
not know why) including SMA. Not sure on the particulars but you should
check them out with Lync2 interface. I just use them closed loop with XW
and they can charge 40% faster.

I recently went through this wxwrcise with an old customer of mine as
well.
I spent a lot of time researching options. Manufacturers and
conversations with SMA regarding their support of a conversion to Life
storage.
Bottom line for me was that SMA does not support any lithium battery
manufacturer available in the US.
I stuck with exact replacement batteries for those that were exhausted,
Concorde AGM's.

Subject:[RE-wrenches] Older Sunny Islands charging newer Lithium's
My fellow wrenchers. Have sought help from SMA but they just defer to
owner's manuals and the older batteries listed.. I have a customer with
two SMA 5048's, roughly 11 years old and appear to be working fine.
Customer wants to move to LIPO batteries and keep his SMA's. Has
anybody made these transitions and how did you do it, not sure the SMA
programing for LIPO's works the way Lithium's need. Any and all help
and ideas appreciated.
Thx
