Hi can someone help me please I’m very new to Victron dc 2 dc chargers and my heads fell off already haha, I’ve got a 12/12 30 non isolated Orion connected to my Mk7 Transit van which has a smart alternator, and the leisure battery I’m using is 110ah AGM battery my Victron app says it’s on Bulk charge however the battery just stays at 12.2v for like an hour of driving and stays on Bulk charge …I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
12.2v is about 65% SOC on an AGM battery. If you're actually pushing ~30 amps into the battery over the course of an hour, I would expect that voltage to climb if the battery is healthy.
Are you using a shunt to measure voltage and current at your leisure battery? If so, does it show a positive current into your leisure battery? You'll need a shunt to determine what the DC charger is actually pushing into the battery. If the DC Charger is not programmed properly, it could indeed be in bulk mode but be pushing next to nothing into the battery.
