Acceptable midpoint deviaton value?

Goodmorning


I have 2 x 2 victron agm 220 ah in series-parallel for 24 volt 440ah.


My midpoint deviation measured by smart shunt is around 0 to 0,3 % maximum.

This is up to 0,0 to 0,07 Volts difference.

When batteries are charging and in absorption stage the deviation is up to 0,7-0,8%

After charging is finished, deviation slowly goes back to 0 - 0,2


What is an acceptable value for this?


My alarm is setup around 2 percent by deviation (standard)

All is connected by busbars and equal cable lengths.

Setup is protected by battery ballancer.

Batteries are 2 weeks old and setup is as wel.

Can i expert higher or lower values?


Best regards and thanks in advance!

Hi Heinzie,

did you fully charge your batteries before you put them in a serial connection?

When you buy new batteries, they are most likely not on the exact same SOC, so it's always a good idea to charge them to 100% SOC BEFORE you use them in a serial string.
