    Victron MPPT Changed to 12V on a 24V system

So when I checked out the settings in the mppt it had auto changed it to 12V. I'm not positive but there seemed to be...

    Think I destroyed my batterys

    So I but 8* 3.2V 202ah batterys in series. I discharged the batteries to 24V and all cells had the same voltage. I then charged them without the BMS using a Victron charger which had a voltage limit of 28.4. Now when I put my batteries back in my solar system I have the mppt at 26.4V but as soon...

    Bottom Balance

    So I'm still pretty new to this and a bit confused. I watched all of Wills videos. So I've discharged my 24V system down to 10% SOC and my batterys are all within 0.05V of each other. Do I still need to bottom balance them because in Wills videos he said it should be fine if they're within that...

    Equilization profile won't go to zero

    Hello, So I've set up the profile below for my 24v battery bank. I've tried to set the equilization voltage to zero but it only goes as low as 18V. I can see that the automatic equilization is disabled. Is that enough or does the equilization voltage need to be at 0V. Thank you for any help

    Charging profile for 24V Lifepo4

    Hello I've being reading up a lot of the charging profile for Lifepo4 and I'm a little confused as there seems to be conflicting answers. A lot of people are saying the the Li Ion setting is too high. But when I read Wills instructions he recommends the same float and abs parameters that are the...
