Thanks Mike, you've been very helpful, nice one (y)

Hi Mike Both batteries are brand new, less than a week old and you are spot on, the SOC readings on both are wildly out as the BMS does not register any current out below 5A! Sterling technical support UK have been very helpful but have not offered replacements. I don't really use the Daly app...

Cool, set the CV at 14.0v now and tail current at 6A (120AH battery). Quick question, tail current is set for just 1 battery in the bank isn't it? I've got 2 in parallel (240AH). I don't need to double the tail current to 12A do I? It's all on charge now, will let you know how it goes (y)

Thanks DJ/Steve I can't get Battleborns over here so I went with Sterling as they seem top of the tree stuff for us. I see they are sold in the US too. I'll lower the Victron CV to 14v and see how that goes. Thanks again guys

Hi DJ Thanks for your reply I see what you mean with regards to higher CC results in slightly higher out of balance. I turned the CC down to 25 amps and the balance diff was only around 0.002v It's always cell 3 on both BMS that seems to run away at the final stage of charging. I'm more...

Hi guys, first post so go easy on me :) OK, just installed 2 new 120ah Sterling (parallel connected) Lithium batteries and charging via a Victron Smart Phoenix 50 amp charger on its dedicated Lithium setting. Its bulk CV is 14.2v but as its talking to my Victron BMV 712 smart via Bluetooth...
