Each maker has their own recommendations. Please find the datasheet for your batteries. If it's not clear how this translates to Victron terms we can help.

For sealed lead-acid, normally you disable equalization.

For voltages, if you can't find the battery datasheets (as kevgermany suggested), you could start with the voltages recommended for similar lead-acid batteries.
