Hi all,
The battery manufacturer of a system with LFP cells states:
"0.5C constant current charge to 3.65V for cell, then switch to constant voltage charge until
charge current declines to ≤0.05C"
Which absorp and float voltages would be suitable in this case for a Multi (or MPPT for that matter)? I'm inclined to use 3.65V/cell for absorp (ie. 58.4V). The ESS assistant - when allowed to update the charge settings for LFP - sets absorp to a lower 56.8V and float to 54.0V.

Maybe those are some special LiFePO4 cells, but in general I would not go over 3.6V.
So I would set the Absorption voltage lower than that, for some saftey margin.
Will you use a BMS?
hi @seb71. Thanks for replying. I've asked the battery manufacturer for more clarity but am not holding my breath :-). Meanwhile I'm taking the safe approach and not going higher than 3.6V.
