I finally have 90% of my system configured. Battery bank, 4 12v 100ah connected in 2s2p. Have battery monitor, lynx distributor, Victron mpg soalr controller. i have my Giandel 3000w inverter. Have it all connected, including filter guys precharger switch.

Here is my question I won’t be able to get panels connected for a few weeks but was hoping to get battery bank fully charged. I charged each battery indepedantly and then connected them all. Each battery is measuring 13.26v. The two banks are measuring 26.52, and the 4 connected are measuring 26.52 also.

So everything seems perfectly balanced so can i simply connect a 24v battery charger to the two output wires from the bank to fully charge them?

thanks in advance.
 
Yes put the 24v charger on and let them charge. However if voltage is going above the initial balance charge it is best to monitor the balance until full voltage is reached. Also no particular reason to run them up again unless the batteries are put to use.
