Hello,
I’ve just picked up a VoltaX 12v 100ah lithium battery and will be charging it while camping with 160watt folding solar panels and an EPSolar VS2024BN charge controller. I’ve read through a few forums looking at settings for my SCC as it doesn’t have a native LifePO4 option. The data sheet for these batteries is a little sparse.
These are the settings I’ve settled on. Is there anything that needs adjusting? There are a few settings I couldn’t adjust any lower which I will highlight.
Temp Compensate: 0
Over Volt Disc: 15.7 (lowest I could set and 15.6 was recommended)
Charge limit: 14.7 (lowest I could set and 14.6 is the recommended voltage)
Over Volt Rect: 14.7
Equal Chrg: 0
Boost Chrg: 14.5
Float Chrg: 13.4 (13.2 recommended but Voltax specifies 13.4 – 13.6)
Boost V. Rect: 13.2
Low V Rect: 12.8
Under V Rect: 12.8
Under V Warn: 12.0
Low V Disc: 11.1
Discharge LMT: 10.6
Will a charge limit of 14.7 damage the battery? It will be housed in an Engel battery box and powering a Waeco fridge via anderson plug and a few electronic devices via usb/inverter. I’m pretty new to battery and solar setups.
Thanks in advance for your input.
