preset for regular car battery

I just bought the MPPT smartsolar 75/10. I am replacing an old PWM controller in an existing installation. I have a 'regular car starter battery': https://www.landi.ch/shop/auto-zubehoer_170402/starterbatterie-okay-44ah-360a_06046


Which preset should I use? This is NOT a gel battery, nor a traction battery... There is no additional information to be had from the manufacturer...

Hi Ronald. If it's a sealed 'maintenance free' batt, then it's likely an AGM. but doesn't really matter. The pb defaults likely already loaded might show 14.4V Abs and 13.8V Float. There may be minor differences between selection functionality such as Abs time, but no point changing them unless you're seeking a special target. Tweak as you need.

Those stock V's may vary a little in practice due to temp compensation, so be aware of that. It's good, not a fault.
