expect problems.
You will need a Charge controller, and an understanding of how to balance and charge the batteries without damaging them, There is a LONG thread in the LiIon battery forum about ways to charge and discharge LiIon batteries.
I think I would wait before you buy anything, read a lot here first and ask questions, and know that batteries and solar power always costs more money replacing batteries than you save by harvesting power.Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||
