What charging precedence strategy are you using with your REC-BMS-controlled-Victron-Energy-LiFePO4 marine system?
Hello All,
What charging precedence strategy are you using with your REC-BMS-controlled-Victron-Energy-LiFePO4 marine battery system?
I have Multiplus-IIs, a main engine driven alternator using a Wakespeed WS-500 regulator, VE MPPT solar charge controllers, VE battery chargers all connected to the Cerbo-GX.
My charging will be through the main engine alternator, shore power connection, and the solar charge controllers. The strategy needs to accmodate dock-side charging, at anchor and underway with the main engine until I raise the sails, at which point I will either rely only on the 1100 watts of solar, or the generator (as needed).
I think that VE has the ability to prioritize charging, but do not know how well it woks. I plan on looking into it today.
What technique are you using to program your system to use the cheapest charging sources given the REC-BMS and the Cerbo GX components?
If there is an existing thread, I have not found it.
I found this on line today and am reading it now. Solar/Wind priority document
Thanks in advance!
