Victron settings wrong ?

Sounds like the mains charger is set to AGM with those high voltages.

Been out in the van today and looked again at our Schaudt Elektroblok 119 and it does not have a lithium profile.
Its been taken off gel and set to lead acid.
The intention is to run off some battery tomorrow or tonight (it is now full ... properly full) and not have recharging on until I lose a good 50 amps somewhere and see what happens when she recharges from solar in terms of the high voltage and when she floats etc

Gel & Lead acid are the same voltage on an EBL just the absorbtion time varies.

According to Schaudt on google its ok to charge the lithium on it in lead acid mode and consider changing some options

The Schaudt Elektroblock EBL 119, while designed for traditional lead-acid batteries, can be used with LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, but requires careful configuration and potentially a DC-DC charger for optimal performance and safety. The EBL 119's built-in charger may not be ideal for lithium batteries without adjustments.

If you are only using EHU Occasionally it's OK but if using regially best to fit a proper charger with a lithium profile. Victron IP22 range are not that expensive.

Very very occasionally. 6 nights in total so far in 8 months and I suspect it will be none in the next 6 months

Now I need to talk about Saxony. We are thinking of going next month and I think I have read some threads where you mention it but I dont think you have done a thread so possibly pre "Lenny goes to ......" times ??????

Have done a bit there but quite a time ago.
Much less touristy than the west not much English spoken as their second language is Russian.
Some good cycle rides beside the Elbe. Dresden well worth a visit arrive by paddle steamer.

Ничего страшного, русский тоже мой второй язык, товарищ.

Тогда все будет хорошо.

Just as an FYI.
I changed from lead acid leisure batteries to a Fogstar 230AH LifePo4 16 months ago.
I have a Victron MPPT and Sterling B2B, both with lithium settings, but a Sargent PX300 mains charger which only has a lead acid setting.
I spoke to both Fogstar and Vanbitz about my mains charger and both said that if I only plugged in to EHU occasionally it would be fine (the Sargent PX300 is 14.4v bulk and 13.6v float) it just wouldn't charge my LifePo4 to 100%, probably 90-95%, and either my solar or B2B would take it to 100% SOC.
I've only been on EHU 5 or 6 nights in the 16 months, just to check that the vans 240v systems work, and have had no issues.
BTW I use a shunt to monitor my SOC not the Fogstar app as a shunt is far more accurate.
