I am using a Victron MPPT 75/15 Solar Charge Controller. What would be the best settings to use in the VictronConnect App Settings in the Battery section for this 6V in series system I have? Should I use one of the provided settings? If I should create my own custom preset what would be the suggested values I should use? I could guess on these values but I know most of your are way more experienced than I am. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Simply double the voltage of one battery and as long as settings are within this you should be good

Hi. I’d start with the Gel(2) preset. Sure yours aren’t gels, but it’s a good allround profile. Though not as aggressive as your maker specs it will do the job and be easier on the batts.
You might want to make some minor adjustments, such as Temp Comp and Tail (to end Absorb). If you want to keep those just save the configuration to a nrw profile you can name yourself.
