    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    Ok, thanks for this. What about the initial charge, could I bring them to 100% so I know what to set the Victron shunt to? Otherwise I'm guessing if they're at 90, 95 etc.? I've also been told bringing them up to 100% while it will shorten their life a touch, over thousands of cycles, some would...

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    You're clearly very knowledgeable and I appreciate your input. Unfortunately, it's usually way over my head so a couple of questions please. I know earlier you suggested CC/CV but I'm planning to use the custom battery type at least initially. This was Magnum's response when I mentioned the...

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    Thanks, what's the size of you bank? 100AH, is that why 30 min absorb? Magnum told me 30 mins per 100ah, so for my 400ah bank 2 hours?

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    I'm not sure about some of the other versions but I do know that my ME RC-50 Rev. 2.8 does have a CC/CV profile. I checked last weekend. Thanks for your input on all of this. I'm trying to figure it out.

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    Here's what my battery manufacturer suggested. 20V low battery cut out is way too low, isn't it? Is recharge and rebulk the same? They have recharge at 28.8 others say 26.4. In my system, I only have AC power when I go turn on the generator. I bought a Victron shunt, so my plan was to watch...

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    I have either option. My system is plugged into an inverter/generator when I'm at the off grid cabin and I just fire it up as needed. In the winter I just spend weekends there, so I may run it a little bit each day if I'm getting low and then on Sunday before leaving I would charge it up...

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    Thanks for your input. I've read about custom vs. cc/cv profiles a bit with Magnum. Is there any downside to the CC/CV, or anything I need to be aware of that would be better suited to a custom profile? Most of this is way over my head and my primary concern is to not damage an expensive...

    Magnum settings for a lithium bank

    Hello, I have recently purchased 2 x 24V, 200AH lithium batteries. I've chatted with some very helpful people on here and elsewhere. I also got suggested charging parameters from Magnum. There are people saying the CC/CV profile is what I want while others, including Magnum say to use "custom"...

    F150 ProPower issue with solar system

    Hello, I hope this is ok in the general area. I recently got my F150 Powerboost with the 7.2KW ProPower onboard. When I plugged into it, I instantly got a ground fault. Looking on some other forums, people trying to do this to power their home have required a transfer switch, but I thought maybe...
