Best setting to charge starter battery with Victor MPPT 75/15 (1 Viewer)

[The Artilleryman]

There isn't a lead/acid battery setting on the above charger and at the moment I need to use the solar to maintain the starter battery, which of the AGM settings is best - this is only a short term setup as I don't have time to fit my new setup, as at the moment I'm unable to work in confined cold spaces for any length of time.

i think you mean Victron. I don’t think there is an option to charge the starter battery as well as the leisure on that unit, a Voltronic mppt unit does.You may need an additional unit to do that.
Lenny HB will be able to advise you better.
Good luck sorting it.

The AGM profile is the one to use for your Victron MPPT.

The Victron MPPT's do not have a dual output, but you can fit the likes of a Battery Master as I have done to feed a trickle charge to your cab battery from your leisure battery.

I think you mean Votronic.

The title should have read "Victron"

Full setup when fitted, will be Victron MPPT 75/15, Votronic B2B & Ablemail battery maintainer.

Just looking for a setting to use Victron MPPT to charge the starter battery only at the moment.

Use the AGM settings.

Only one output on Victron MPPT so I assume you are using it for just charging the starter battery. Assuming your starter battery is a standard sealed lead acid (stop start vehicles are often AGM).
The default setting are OK for SLA., you can reset to the default settings in the settings menu. I wouldn't use AGM setting the voltage will be too high.
Don't forget when connecting the battery needs to be connected before the panels.

Yep, bloody predictive text

Help needed, good morning from a foggy southern Spain. Vanbitz fitted a solar panel battery master and vistron controller for my rollerteam PVC a couple of months ago . it worked great. Amessage came on Victron app to update hardware which i think i did. The values on the Bluetooth app changed dramatically when we we arrived down here ie constant sunshine. What values are you used to on your system its sounds similar to ours. The reason i ask is that suddenly the vehicle will not start. i hope i havnt screwed up the settings .

Need a bit more background as to what your system comprises of to set the values in your Victron app.
What is your hab battery chemistry i.e. lead acid, AGM, lithium? How many Ah's is your battery, do you have a battery monitor or Smart shunt.
Can you post a screenshot of the current values on your Victron Connect app.

MH on way to Fiat workshop in Huelva hopefully. Last view was as it left us on transporter. Leisure batt is a 120 Agm Will update you when or if we see it again. New to this .Ash fitted everthing and set up Victron with bluetooth. Many happy hours watching app on phone showing cheap leccy. It was producing over 20volts no need for EHU. 150 solar panel. Clever tech ! Hope i haven't blown something when i updated the victron.Cheers
