Hi All,
My 1st post & question.
Background
I have two new Chins 12v 100ah batteries no blue tooth and Victron IP22 20v 3 bank charger. I will also use a shunt when put in series to track usage and remaining capacity. Thus, best case would be to max the charge as they will be drawn down quite a bit and maybe completely.
Usage
The trolling motor will be used for both traveling, getting to the spot and fishing, moving around the area to fish as outboard is prohibited.
I charged the batteries by simply using the ion selection. The voltage is 13.4 & 13.6 per the meter, seems the batteries should go to 14.4 if I'm reading the provided material right. I understand lithium doesn't like to be a full charged for down time but how do I charge them to 14.4 the night before fishing, if I'm supposed to do that. Victron has an advanced mode but I didn't feel comfortable using that yet.
Victron doesn't show batteries separately so that's confusing. I also tried each one separately but the meter seems more accurate.
Thanks for any help let me know if more info is needed.
