I saw that lfp04 as well as lfp08, rather than only having user settings to set them, are options and my battery seller said this would be the one I should choose (fogstar drift 105ah).
Every time I switch the power back on though the setting defaults to "sealed" in the options. I set again and they remain for that session but then again revert to sealed once switched off and on again.
Also I just saw this post advising not to use those presets anyway and rather choose user defined settings. Still though, being so new I would choose that for the time being as long as it is not hurting the battery, just less than ideal, as I have so much other stuff to work on - mainly getting heat in the van in these below freezing temps!
What I noticed is that other settings on the device will stick, at least the one other I tried, between power offs so dont know why this wont? I set the time/date settings and they have remained between power offs so what is the problem with the battery settings not taking? I didnt try messing with user or any other to see if it is only lfp8 it is not liking as I said above I dont know what I am doing there so want to keep it simple right now.
Is it perhaps because the device doesnt see it as lfp and is somehow rejecting it?
Also what would happen if I forgot to set them? I will of course try to remember and want to fix this as a priority but wondering if it could destroy the battery if I forgot?
Fogstar told me I could set it to either gel or sealed and it would be fine - forgot which now - if they said such and such setting was at x. I have no idea what that setting was or what that meant but they said the battery itself sorts itself out somehow.
So could anyone advise how to make lfp settings stick as this is rather an impediment to progress having to switch it manually every single time.
