What are the best settings or the best preset, for a 3 x 120ah (800A) batteries bank. The batteries are wet lead with the ability to top up each of the six cells with de-mineralised water.
All the settings I can see are for either AGM or Gel, or Lithium...
I don’t really want to be messing or testing settings and editing the presets and have a look... I would like to know if one of the presets fits, and if none does, then make one.
It's best to consult your batteries' documentation to set the correct parameters for them.
There can be some variance between manufacturers / models.
Also pay close attention to the Equalisation Voltage settings too.
Sorry, we can't provide a definite answer without knowing any ,ore information.
Best would be to set it up using VictronConnect, set the battery type to user defined and then set the charge parameters according to the battery manufacturers specifications
The AGM profile will do you ok.
But you can do 14.5 to 15 v on bulk / absorb on wet cells, just watch the water.
Float around 13.6
From the manufacturer I got no answer, well I can't even contact any information or contact email (Movilbat)
Any standard settings for 140 amps wet lead with the ability to top up each of the six cells with de-mineralised water?
I use flooded daily cyclers, and the Victron defaults are perfect. 14.4V abs and 13.8V float. There'll be a preset 'flooded' one to pick out if you've changed it.
A maintenance charge might only need to see 13.2V every day. So depends what you're doing with them. Temp compensation is fine/best left on, so you'll see deviations from those V's in practice.
Cant find any preset as "flooded daily cyclers"
Those values match with gel batteries preset.
Hi,
According to the manual https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Manual-BlueSolar-charge-controller-MPPT-100-30---100-50-EN-NL-FR-DE-ES-SE.pdf
page 10, preset 0, 1, 2, and 3 are suitable for equalization for flooded cell batteries.
Pick the preset that matches your batteries recommended charging voltages.
