BMV-700 Settings

Hello


I hope that someone more knowledgeable about battery monitor settings can help me!

I have been watching video tutorials and reading the manual over and over but I still don't fully understand the details. All I really want to be sure of us that I have the correct settings in my bmv-700. Charged voltage, tails current etc. At the moment the monitor is on the default settings.

The battery is a leoch adventurer agm 160ah. Info and Datasheet for leoch agm 160ah is here:

My charger is a redarc BCDC1225 and I am using the alternator and solar inputs. Details of charger below:

First set up your charger(s). Based on those values you will set the BMV, too. The settings from BMV do not control the actual charging. So you can start with the defaults for AGM, observe for some time and adjust as required.
