The Absorb Time defaults to 2 hours btw. And includes this option:

No

This was measured in pretty good sun at midday in Brisbane Australia. I'm actually not sure not what Wattage my old larger panel is, maybe 180 but the Voc is 20.2v. I can't measure the Isc without a clamp meter right? But when it is connected to the charger on its own the charger says: 88W ...

Oh ok, I will try to be more patient lol. Thanks.

Didn't work, good idea though.

I know they say if you want two batteries in parallel they should be identical brands and specs. But what about if they are in series? I currently have a 100ah LiFePO and am considering adding another 100ah one but it will be a different brand and will be newer. So I am thinking why not just...

Cool thanks. Panels are in parallel.

Oh ok then. Thanks.

Thank you so much guys, I will sleep a lot better knowing I have the right settings! For completeness here are the other options I have available:

Hi everyone! I have a LiFePO4 100AH battery. I am charging it with a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/10. The battery says: Operating voltage: 12.8 Charging voltage: 14.6 And it says for optimum performance you must charge at 14.6v. My chargers battery settings are set to: Absorbtion voltage: 14.2...

Done.

Thanks guys. Here is the battery manual. I will test the panels tomorrow.

My charger lets me select an Absorbtion and Float voltage value. Should I change Absorbtion to 14.6? Leave Float on 13.5?

I have a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30. Charging a 12v Lithium from a single panel. It used to work fine, then it looks like there was a high voltage on the PV (75.45v) and the battery (36.42v). This might have been my fault when I was doing some rewiring and maybe connecting things in the...

Yes i tried that.

Its on.

Although the battery voltage is still never going above 13.4 and the charger is still always on Bulk mode, despite hours of over 100W available from the panels..
