How should I configure an Orion 12/12/30, BMV 712 and MPPT for Exide EQUIPMENT Li-Ion batteries?

The information I have about the batteries is a recommendation:

Charge voltage: 14,6V

Float: 13,8V

Cut-off current: 5A

If the battery is LiFePO4, then I would say to use slightly lower voltages:


Absorption voltage: 14.4V

Float voltage: 13.4V


If it is another type of Li-Ion, specify which.


By "Cut-off current: 5A" you mean maximum charging current? That is very low. What is the battery capacity?


For how to set up the devices, check their manuals.

If you did not bought the Orion yet, better get a Smart Orion.

Same for the MPPT: make sure you get a SmartSolar (not a BlueSolar).


"Smart" for Victron products denotes built-in Bluetooth.
