Blue Smart IP67 12A Charger - Firmware

Hi,

Has there been a firmware update to the Blue Smart IP67 12A charger or the VictronConnect app so I can set the aqbsorb time to less than an hour? Not being able to set this to less than an hour does not make any sense unless this was a coding error. I am in the process of commissioning some SimpliPhi 24VDC 3.8 batteries and the absorb is to be set to 6 minutes. The minimum I can seem to set this to is 1 hour.

Any workarounds for this on the SimpliPhi batteries?

Thanks,

Brian

I don't have this actual charger, I have the PSC IP43 model. I can choose the absorption time as low as one minute from within the VictronConnect App on my handheld mobile telephone.

If I use the demo mode and select your model of charger, this absorption time is also available.

Yea, so demo mode is fine for playing with the app. It does not seem to run the charger. What I am looking for is for Victron Energy to fix the app or the firmware in the charger so absorb settings of less than 1 hour can be configured.

Anybody from Victron energy customer/technical support reading this post?

I posted a similar question a while ago.

Victron's reply was essentially "Live with it". Our 300Ah 4 cell LiFePO4 battery is full at 14.1V without the unnecessary forced added 1 hour absorption.

I am still eagerly waiting for a fix.
