Hi everyone can I get some suggestions please with these settings from anyone who uses lead batteries and first on the list is a Victron mppt 100/50
I’m using 230ah which is x2 115ah in parallel from banner bull the charge profile at 12v
bulk 14.6v - 14.8v I chose 14.6v
Float 13.2v - 13.5v I chose 13.3v
tail current 4amp ? Seems high
Re bulk off set 0.6v - 0.10v I chose 0.10v
Absorbtion duration Adaptive ?
Absorb time 1 hour seems right being 30 mins per 100ah
I also use bmv-712 which I’m told charge voltage needs to be 0.2v - 0.3v below absorption charge on mppt which is 14.3v I chose
Discharge floor 50%
Tail current 4% also seems high ? I’m thinking 0.5% has 1.1% is 4amp
Charged detection time 3 mins ? I’m thinking this needs to be higher like 6mins
peukert 1.25
Charged efficient factor 80%-85%
Multiplus settings
Same as bmv not the mppt
14.3v absorbtion
13.3v float
Adaptive & battery safe
If anyone would kindly give me any feed back or explanation what works for them with a similar set up would be much appreciated. I just think I need to keep adjusting the tail current & charged detection time
My thinking of tail current is once a battery is in float for 15 mins you check what the battery is still receiving in current from solar or charge mine is 1 - 2amp max which would be 0.5% tail current because 4 amp tail current is 1.1%
Before I forget my solar array is 460w
Thanks
