I recently built a 210Ah battery system for my vehicle using 105Ah EVE cells. I am using a Victron Orion-Tr Smart Isolated 12/12-18 charger and SmartShunt.
Now that I am testing the system, I notice the charger is not producing its rated output, even in bulk charge phase. The charger is rated for 220W (~18A @ 12.8V nominal) however I rarely see more than 10A of charge current while monitoring the shunt. I am using the default LiFePO4 profile in the configurations, and have setup the shunt for LiFePO4 appropriate values.
The charger is mounted about 2 feet from the battery. It is about a 20 foot run of 8ga wire from the vehicle starting battery to the charger and about a 2-3 foot run of 8ga wire from the charger to the aux battery.
Not sure what is going on but I am hoping someone may be able to take a look at the screenshots or setup and see anything amiss?
