![]() well, neither we, nor Renogy, nor especially Victron are going to be able to offer support or advice for Renogy products because they didn't make or design them, so no one actually really knows what their specs are.īottom line: If you want real support, you need to pay a little more to buy products that are designed by the companies whose name the product bears, like Victron, Battle Born, ReLion, Blue Sea, Sterling, etc. whether or not you get a good device depends entirely upon which Chinese warehouse overstock they recently bought up and slapped their name on. At the Victron/Sterling/Blue Sea/Battle Born distributor that I work for, we always strongly advise against purchasing Renogy products, not necessarily because they're bad products, but because they're shot-in-the-dark products. Given that Renogy doesn't actually make anything they sell (they're a branding company, not a manufacturer), it doesn't surprise me that people are getting differing/conflicting information from them about their branded products. It isn't Victron's place to give advice on specific batteries that are not yet on the supported list. Or at the very least have a history of correspondence with them where you are seeking their advice for how their batteries are to be used, and following that to the best of your ability with the info they do provide. Ultimately if there is an issue, which leads to a warranty claim on the battery, the best case is that you have followed the battery manufacturers or suppliers directions for how the batteries are to be charged. Otherwise we are all just giving it our best guess. In these cases where Victron has not tested the batteries, and has not been given specific instructions that have been confirmed with the battery manufacturers, the best case is to get the battery supplier or manufacturer to provide the required settings for their batteries. Generally speaking from what I do know about lithium batteries is that once the target voltage is reached, that's it, and the battery should not be charged any further (ie #2) ![]() Setting the float voltage to the minimum allowable value would be the equivalent of this. Setting the float voltage to be the same as the absorption voltage would be the equivalent of this.Ģ - once the target absorption voltage has been reached, and the absorption phase is over, no additional power is provided to the batteries, and the battery either holds the voltage itself, or falls back to a lower voltage, until it falls below the re-bulk threshold. There are two ways to interpret the "no floating stage" advice:ġ - it HOLDS the absorption voltage indefinitely.
