The system has thrown up some links below, which should explain things. There's also an excellent manual with the charger

Please come back to us with what's not clear from them.

You want to charge your batteries -> select charger

You have lithium batteries -> select the lithium algorithm

Any other settings you have to test at YOUR car, it's hard to recommend settings for that.

Hi Matthias - the van is a Mercedes Sprinter 2021 and the leisure batteries are not charging for some reason through the dcdc charger from the engine. The current settings are:


Battery settings:


Battery reset: User defined

Charger enabled

Absorption voltage: 14.40v

Float voltage: 13.50v

Bulk time limit: 10h

Re-bulk offset voltage: 0.10v

Adaptive absorption time: switched off

Fixed absorption time: 2h


Engine Shutdown Detection settings:


Alternator type: Smart

Start Voltage: 14.00v

Delayed start voltage: 13.30v

Delayed start voltage delay: 120s

Shutdown voltage: 13:10v


Input voltage lockout settings:


Bell icon 12.5v

Bell icon with diagonal line through 12.8v


Hopefully, there might be discrepancy in the above settings that somebody can spot?
