Thanks for that. I guess I'll leave the BMS alone. It's ultimately safer and will have me a few bucks. :cool:

Hello. It's been a while since my last visit. This group helped me discover a few things about my Victron 12|12-30 DC-DC charger. I imagine a lot of you are as anxious as I am to acquire the new 12|12-50A. But that's not where my question is headed. My current setup consists of 4x 100-Ah 3.2V...

Thanks for the comments, DJ! Everything in my schematic, aside from the charger and LFP battery, was already present in my trunk area. So, "K1" was already there and handling the entire load any time the engine is running (my "D+?"). I added the LFP battery after several years to extend my...

Thanks, Mike! I forgot to mention in my previous post that moving the charger to a more open location has given me about 3A more charging current than in its previous location. I don't ever see the full 30A. But I think that's because the charger may be more of a "360W charger" (360/14.2=25.3)...

Revisiting this... While settting-up to test my new Bulk, Absorption, and Float settings, I also decided to relocate my charger to a place with more area for heat dissipation: I moved it just six inches from its previous location, but out in the open. It's sitting directly over one of my...

Thanks, Joey! No tripping of the BMS. From the BMS app, everything looks to be working fine. The long absorption time after the battery is at 100% is my only concern. The "User Defined" selection is "custom" and allows me to change the settings. I can mimic the LiFePO4 settings, but change the...

Thanks for the replies! Here's how my charger is set, the two profiles I used. The "User Defined" profile uses Will Prowse's recommendation as a baseline, which is a bit higher than default or what DJ recommended below. Will's thread does not contain recommendations for "Re-Bulk." I see...

Hello, I don't have a solar system, but I'm building small and in a small platform while I learn. This system could someday wind up in a van. I've been searching for answers and have watched some videos that I've found linked here. No luck yet. So, I hope this is an easy question to answer for...
