4. Setup
4.1 Using the MODE button
There are 3 easily selectable integrated charge modes that are suitable for most common
battery types, as well as an optional recondition stage that can be included (except for Li-
ion mode).
Any settings made are stored and will not be lost when the charger is disconnected from
mains power or the battery.
a) Charge voltage
By simply selecting the appropriate charge mode for the battery type being charged,
(refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations) the voltage settings for each
charge stage will be altered according to the table below:
Mode
Absorption
Float
Storage
Recondition
Normal
14.4 V
13.8 V
13.2 V
16.2 V
High
14.7 V
13.8 V
13.2 V
16.5 V
Li-ion
14.2 V
13.5 V
13.5 V
N/A
Note: For 24V chargers multiply all voltages by 2.
Charge voltage is also automatically compensated depending on ambient temperature
(except for Li-ion mode) - see section 3.2 ‘Temperature compensation’ for more
information.
The desired charge mode can be selected using the VictronConnect app - see section 4.2
‘Using VictronConnect’ for more information.
b) Recondition mode
If enabled the recondition stage is included in the charge cycle; use only if required as a
corrective/maintenance action - see section 3.1 / 3 ‘Recondition’ for more information.
c) Low current mode
If enabled the charge current is continuously limited to a significantly reduced level (varies
per model - refer to specifications) compared to the nominal charge current.
Low current mode is recommended when charging lower capacity batteries with a high
current charger, for example some lead acid batteries can overheat if charged with a current
that exceeds 0.3C (more than 30% of the battery capacity in Ah).
