@David B

You should set the charging voltage as suggested by the manufacturer. It's best to ask SOK.

Thank you. This is what I got and it was great information.

Hello David, Victron’s Li-Ion profile is NOT sufficient for non-Victron LiFePO4 batteries. Enter configuration and turn on “ADVANCED” switch, then select “Custom” charge preset. Then click “Advanced Battery Settings”. The battery preset should be set to “User Defined”. Turn on “Expert Mode” switch. Charge Voltage Settings: Absorption Voltage: 14.6v Float Voltage: 13.8v Storage Voltage: 13.6v Recondition Voltage: Disabled BatterySafe: Disabled Voltage Compensation: Temperature Compensation: Disabled Bulk: Bulk Time Limit: 24 Hours Re-bulk Current: Enabled, set to full output current of charger, typically 25A Absorption: Absorption Duration: Fixed Absorption Time: 1 Hr Repeated Absorption: Every 7 days Recondition: Recondition Stop Mode: Fixed time Recondition Duration: 15M (This is the minimum allowed setting. It is already disabled in charge voltage settings, but set to this as a safety precaution)
