Hi
The LPO battery and Smartshunt are now installed on my boat. All is working fine. The Smartsolar 75/15 is charging the battery, i can see everything in the app and on VRM thanks to the Globallink520. All is connected in a victron bluetooth network.
The is no 230V charger connected, at least, it’s switched off.
The MPPT has been charging the battery, that is now over 90%. I am not on my boat most of the time and there are no users active, so i guess it will charge to close to 100% when it is not below 5 degrees.
I would like to keep it at 90% SOC max, but cannot find the settings to achieve that. Seeing the charge charts that shows the voltage difference between 80% and almost 100%, it will be hard to find the right settings to stop the mppt at 90% and also stop float charge.
Now i shut down the mppt charger in the victron connect app (it syas: “only for maintainance purposes”).
- Is it a problem for the MPPT itself to keep the mppt connected to the PV panels but have the mppt in the “charger off”-position?
- Can i switch the MPPT (automatically or manually) on and off using the globallink and VRM? I see 2 relays en digital input, but cannot find out how to do that
Thanks in advance
