ip65 and battleborn 12volt 100aH

Hello,

am charging a standalone battleborn battery (not in any system and connected to anything but the charger) with an IP65. custom setting is for float at 13.6, yet it is reading 14.37 and for hours, sitting at that voltage (0 amps).

what would cause this and what do I need to do about it, pse?

thank you

ps i unplugged the ip65, plugged it back in after all lights went out, it went back to absorbtion voltage of 14.41 at 0 amps, and is varying one to two tenths of a volt while sitting there.

i don't yet know what float voltage it will settle on.

@nsr1357

What setting are you using? Just the default?

I have same battery, and charging is very slow when plugged into shore power, I changed to 15a and took way longer...wonder if the BMS limits and is causing your issue?
