Hi Martin,

see the Lead Carbon Batteries datasheet:

https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-Lead-carbon-battery-EN.pdf

It should contain every information you need, to setup your Multis charging parameters.


Regards,

Markus

Hi Markus

the data sheet isn’t very informative at all, did you ever find any more information on the lead carbons?

regards

Hi! Sorry for hijacking this tread, but I'm also looking for some more detailed recommendation for a good charging profile for these batteries. The datasheet is not very specific:

For example it "says charged a rate not exceeding 0,2C" and it has this table of charge voltages:

For example:

  • Whats the recommended settings in Victrons own SmartSolar MPPT solar controller?
  • What's the recommended absorption time?
  • What's the temperature compensation?

The datasheet (https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-GEL-and-AGM-Batteries-EN.pdf) for Victrons AGM and GEL batteries are much more detailed.

@Sud you keep asking in different threads.

Nothing else has been made available. Please use standard AGM or Gel settings for any you're missing.
