    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    From charger to the battery-- 3 feet #1 to 3 feet #2 total 6 feet. I will check again the amp difference between 13.8 and 14.4. tomorrow, as right now at Xantrex request I am powered down for 48 hours to see if the software will reflash correctly.

    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    yes, I may have to do that. The only problem is when camping I charge the batteries from a generator. at 13.8 volts it takes much longer to charge than at 14.4 volts. about 50 amps vs 80 amps. I am trying to find out what the harm of 3.7 volts per cell for a few seconds would do.

    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    Also, I am not concerned with longevity. at 25 cycles per year even at only 1000 cycles that is 40 years. I plan to be dead long before that.

    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    Thank you guys for your help. I am trying not to trip the BMS. If I set the charge voltage to 14.2 it will spike at the end of the charge cycle to about 14.7 volts for a few seconds. If I set my BMS battery overvoltage protection to 14.8 volts and cell protection to 3.7volts this would...

    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    Yes, Diysolar123 you are correct it is a defect. Xantrex had me power off for 24 hours to try and reset the software to no avail. it is the xc inverter/charge so it is closer to $1000 but I overpay for everything. But my question remains, what harm would be done to hit 3.8 volts for a few...

    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    There is no equalization function. I have used gel and lead-acid, as well as custom settings they all do the same thing. Xantrex says it its a glitch in the voltage ramp down so before ramping down it spikes for a second. I could set to a lower voltage but when camping i would like to charge...

    PLEASE HELP BMS / CHARGER SOLUTION ?

    I have built a 4 cell 280ah lifepo4 battery, with an overkill solar BMS. Before installing it in my RV I charged and discharged it many times on my workbench, with a progressive dynamics charger and it works great. The problem arises when I charge with the inverter/charger in my RV ( Xantrex...
