Are you using drop in replacement lithium iron phosphate? These would be of the Battleborn, Relion, etc. variety. If so they have onboard BMS solutions and you should be able to keep your OEM charger with no concerns. If you are not going with LiFePO4 that has integrated BMS you can still use the charger but you will have to do some trial and error to find the sweet spot that correlates near the SOC that you want as your max battery settings. This is because there most likely is no means for the OEM solar controller to talk to the BMS.
