Hi,
Can I use my older BMV-600s to monitor a 280ah 4S 12v lifepo4 battery?
It would be great to be able to reuse this if it will work?
What settings would I need to change.
Thank you,
Roger

Yes, this unit can be used for Lithium batteries.
Guideline settings, then tweak from there:
Set the Ah capacity of the battery.
Set the Charge Efficiency Factor (CEF) to 99%
Set Peukert to 1.15
Perform a manual sync. when you know that the battery is fully charged.
You might need to adjust the tail current to suit your particular battery.
Thank you. Another great example of... If you buy quality, you only cry once:')
I do like the victron stuff.
