In your earlier post you did not confirm the firmware version that you are running on your MPPT - as the re-bulk voltage has recently changed & v1.40/v1.41 FW were cancelled quickly after release, you really need to check/confirm this first using VictronConnect.
Since you have a BlueSolar charger it would not have inbuilt Bluetooth & you will need to either use a VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle OR a VE.Direct to USB cable to access VictronConnect.
To confirm the FW revision go into 'Settings' then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner;
Then the FW version will be displayed in the 'Product Info' window that appears;
If you want to see the changes for each FW revision you access this by creating a Victron Professional account (https://professional.victronenergy.com/) and download the MPPT firmware change log.
In the latest change log, for FW v1.41 (that was cancelled), under 'Charge algorithm improvements' it states;
So this implies that the re-bulk voltage on FW v1.39 & earlier is 13.7v and the default re-bulk voltage for FW v1.40/1.41 was changed to 13.4v.
Also, under 'Known issues' for FW v1.41 it states;
(which sounds like the issue you were having)
But now after reading this again - I'm not so sure that the 're-bulk' voltage really was 13.7v before, it seems very high, even if float is set to 13.8v. So maybe @mvader (Victron Energy Staff) should confirm 100% that this is not a typo.
In the upcoming FW revisions it is still expected that the re-bulk voltage will become user configurable, as was intended in v1.40/1.41 (but possibly as a delta to float voltage) rather than an absolute number.
So if you can hold out for a little while the default re-bulk voltage should not be a concern...
thanks you so much for all the information and the quick replies :)
I made a mistake, I have the smart MPPT with the bluetooth connectivity.
My FW is v1.39, so I went for some reading on the professional portal. very instructive. I will be waiting for the new FW update
No worries.
The latest information is that v1.42 is due to be released next week, providing everything goes well.
See update in https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/8178/why-doesnt-the-documentation-warn-that-multiple-mp.html
But you will probably need to wait a bit longer for VictronConnect to be updated with the functionality to manually configure the re-bulk voltage/offset.

Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
