Charge controller settings

6dd5c01f-169a-4d61-b77a-a9392bc08894.png Hi, Just had a brand new Lion battery HZB-EV12-230 254AH 12V delivered yesterday, replacing one of the same that lasted under 4 years, so I wanted to check the exact recommended charging details. The old one swelled up indicating overcharge & went from floating fine to bulk charging only. I suspect it was cactus already but the charger never left Bulk.


I am using a using a Victron Smartsolar MPPT Charge Controller MPPT 100/50:


What should I set the Max Charge Current to?

Charge Voltages:

Absorption Voltage?

Float Voltage?

Equalization Voltage?

Automatic equalisation Yes or NO.


Thank you for your help. I have gone through your site & the Lion site and haven’t been able to find these details anywhere. Any help appreciated.


Cheers,


Cluggo

Hi Cluggo

Leave the charge current at 50

Absorption = 14.4

Float = 13.5

Set Absorption to adaptive

Disable Equalization, (this is only for flooded batteries)
