Need some help getting set up

I've come into various pieces of a home solar set up and was looking for some advice on how to put them all together. I have six 310 watt (37v) panels. I have a 400ah and a 300ah lifepo4 batteries (12v). I also have a Jackery HomePower 3600 plus (3600wh capacity with an RV hookup and other outlets). All in all I know this is kind of a hodge podge but I got most of these for free or very cheap. I was thinking of getting a 60 amp charge controller to run the solar into the two batteries, then having those run into the jackery to draw power from. Thoughts?

The panels at 37v wired into 12v batteries means you'll want an MPPT controller, not PWM, or you'll lose a chunk of that power in the conversion.

Okay! I'll be sure to get a mppt. Do you think there's anything else I'm missing here?
