Didn't work, good idea though.

Its on.

Yes i tried that.

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...

Oh ok then. Thanks.

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...

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

Done.

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

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 ...

No

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..

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:

Cool thanks. Panels are in parallel.

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