  • Post in thread: Over-voltage charging or is it supposed to work this way?

    Thanks again for your patient help. It seems that just keeping things charged up pretty much keeps things copacetic. With better balance comes a higher resting voltage which tells me that things are working more like they should. Previously the resting voltage has been 13.3. With the extra time...

    S_E. - I was referring to your HBR, USA (6500' in ENE AZ) tag. I live at 7,000' in Central AZ. All I know is what I think I see. I have no reason to be stubbornly stupid about this. I'm fairly smart about other things than this. Let's assume that the sun only comes out every single day long...
  • Post in thread: 100% SOC while connected to BMV-712 and SCC?

    Thanks muchly for the useful info. I somehow thought that 100% SOC varied between all batteries and I needed to actually find out what mine is. Settings have been set and all is well. Thanks again. Peter

    Thank you for the response S_E. - You live on the rez? If I type anything really, really stupid here please let me know. My confusion started when poring over videos ALL folks said that 12v LiFeSo4 batteries become damaged at more than 13.65v and is to be avoided at all costs. I assumed that...

    I'll take a wild guess and say 6 miles southwest of Concho. The wife and I just spent 4 nights at Big Lake. We were almost alone there. Don't understand that either but sure beats the alternative! The MPPT was sensing/sending on the network and the BMV was reporting them. Newish AND cheap...
  • Post in thread: Over-voltage charging or is it supposed to work this way?

    I have a very basic 220W solar/200Ah lithium setup on my camper but realize there is an important gap in my knowledge and can't seem to find an answer for. My Victron system (newish, fairly inexpensive 200Ah lithium battery) 75/15 MPPT and BMV 712 are charging the battery to a voltage that seems...
  • Post in thread: 100% SOC while connected to BMV-712 and SCC?

    I've just replaced 2 6V AGMs with 1 200A LiFePo4 Chinese special and was wondering how to figure the 100% SOC (resting voltage - and charged voltage now that I think of it) while it's s-l-o-w-l-y being depleted with required Victron equipment. Do I need to disconnect it from everything to get...
