Over the next few weeks I'll be setting up a new battery system for my off-grid home. I bought 64 EVE Lifepo cells (280Ah@3.2V). I'll be setting them up in 4 groups of 16S (16S4P?).
I feel a bit unclear on how to charge the batteries up to 90% SOC. I'm assuming that's determined by the Absorption voltage I charge them to, but I'm not clear. Additionally, is my Victron SmartShunt going to be confused by any of this?
For instance: fully charged is 3.65V per cell. If I set my absorption to 3.5V per cell, will that be just fine? I'm using this post as a reference for ideal voltages, but I'm open to other suggestions.
Sorry if my question is unclear, but it reflects my own lack of clarity. Would appreciate any insight from someone who has already handled this. Much appreciated, and any other tips welcomed.
