I’m trying to charge each of my SOK 12v 206 Ah LiFePO batteries for the first time. The problem is that my new Victron BlueSmart Charger appears to only charge using NON LifePo charge parameters Regardless of how it is set In the VictronConnect app.
Even though the Victron Connect app is set to SOK‘s recommended constant voltage of 14.6v, the app will only start charging at 13.5v and shows a planned charge curve with the charger in 13.5v Bulk mode ramping up to plateau as if it were set to charge a NON-LiFePo type of battery. Also, when I try to use the preconfigured choice of Li battery, the same thing happens
Should it not start with and maintain a constant voltage at the parameter I set in the advanced user selection of the app e.g. 14.6v? I thought LiFePo batteries required a constant voltage and constant current to charge correctly, not an bulk-absorption-float curve like a lead acid battery?
