Hi , I have just installed new set up to include LIFEPO4 batteries totalling 560ah, and a BVM712. The batteries are not at 100% as they are reading 13.6v on the BVM display. As they are not at 100% I don’t think I can just sync them as 100%?. . Can I just manually enter the SOC as 92% SOC ( I.e 13.6/14.65 x100 ). Or would I be better buying an independent charger and charging them to 100%, seems a bit if a shame to do that as I have the new 3000 wattt Multiplus charger installed for charging??
Use the MultiPlus to charge them, when you know that the batteries have reached 100% then you can sync the BMV to 100%. No need to use a different charger, the MultiPlus can do the charging.
Don't worry id the BMV reads 100% before that batteries have actually reached 100%, it will stay at 100% and then only start to count down when discharging starts to happen.
