What MPPT charge controller settings should I use for NiCd Nickel Cadmium batteries?

Hi. I have an solar instalallation - homemade - 5 kW, and I want to change the old batteries (AGM 2x12 v) with NiCd - 2x12 v. The controllers I use are Victron 100/50 (4, because I have many tipes of solar pannels). The controllers have a rotary knob to select the tipe of the batteries 0 to 7 positions, but there is not specified NiCd. Whitch position should I use for my new batteries ?Details: controllers Victron 100/50 and 150/85, inverter Victron 24v/5 kVA, balancers Victron, battery manager BMV 712 smart, control Gx

You must look at the datasheet of your batteries.
Then you can use the nearest preset or you use the VictronConnect app to make your own settings.
If you have a BlueSolar then you need a VE.direct Bluetooth donge or you have SmartSolar then they have BT already inside?
