Lithium Charging Victron Chargers

Hello, how long can the Phoenix Smart IP43 50A charger (or any Lithium charger) remain "on" and connected to a 12 volt Lithium battery system?

Currently the charger is in "Storage" mode with about 0.9A to 1.1A at 13.50V going into Lithium batteries with a BMS controller.

There is Victron Smart MPPT and Orion-Tr Smart B2B chargers connected. There are also two 12 volt compressor refrigerators, a POE switch powered by a 12 volt to 48 volt converter, Sierra Wireless cellular modem/router, Cisco POE access point, other things that are not always on: two Victron Inverters, etc.

Regular consumption is about 1.5 amps (with no charger connected, no refrigerator compressor running).


Thank you, Jeff

Indefinitely, they would supply your loads and keep the battery at the set point voltage (in your case 13.5V float)
