Victron MPPT SmartSolar Charge Controller
Victron MPPT, solar charge controllers, are Bluetooth accessible via built-in Bluetooth or the Victron Energy Bluetooth dongle. Connecting your solar charge controller to VictronConnect allows you to view various metrics. With the simple click of a button, you can see your battery voltage, solar history, load output, flexible battery charge algorithms, day/night timing, and light-dimming options. These solar charge controllers will gather energy from your solar panels quickly and efficiently.\ Once your MPPT is installed in your system, the next step is ensuring it's correctly programmed to work with Battle Born Batteries.How to Program a Victron MPPT SmartSolar Charge Controller
1. Download the VictronConnect app onto your phone. 2. Connect the MPPT to your Battle Born Battery. 3. Select the MPPT SmartSolar charge controller from the device list.
4. You may receive a notification indicating that the firmware needs updating. You will need a pin code; the default pin is "000000." Please update the firmware before continuing.
6. On the main screen of the MPPT, click the gear icon in the upper right corner. From the settings menu, select the "battery" option.
7. select the battery preset menu and choose “User Defined.”
8. Finally, ensure the"User Defined" settings match the ones listed below:
-
Absorption voltage: 14.6 volts (acceptable range is 14.4 to 14.6 volts)
-
Absorption Time: The recommended setting for our lithium batteries is half an hour per 100ah of LiFePO4 battery (for example, if you have 2 -100ah batteries, select 1 hour).
-
Float Voltage: 13.5 volts (13.6 volts or lower is acceptable for LiFePO4 batteries)
-
Equalization voltage: 14.4 volts (you do not need to equalize Lithium-ion; you will have to equalize turned off, but in case it ever runs a cycle, the batteries will be fine at this voltage)
-
Temperature Compensation: should be disabled on Lithium Deep Cycle batteries because they do not need to be compensated, leave this off.
-
Low-temperature cut-off: Our Battle Born Batteries have low-temperature charging protection built into the battery. It’s monitored by our Battery Management system, which is also built-in. You can leave this off, too. Some other brands do not protect your battery against damage from low-temperature charging, but we do; we've got you covered.
Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller
The Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller offers peak conversion efficiency, comprehensive system protection, diverse load control, and remote monitoring. With the Renogy DC Home APP and Renogy ONE Core display setting, adjust the following parameters to work with LiFePO4 batteries.
EPEever MPPT Solar Charge Controller
The EPEver XTRA Series MPPT Solar Charge Controller is the perfect addition to off-grid solar systems. Complying with international standards, this device offers charging power, charging current, and automatic power reduction to ensure stability and efficiency. When programming your EPEver MPPT, set the parameters to match the following:
Programming Other MPPT Solar Charge Controllers
If your system has a Morningstar Professional Series SunSaver MPPT, Schneider Conext MPPT, Magnum Energy MPPT, or another type of MPPT solar charge controller, it may still be compatible with Battle Born Batteries. First, ensure it can be programmed with the following settings:-
Absorption voltage: 14.6 volts (acceptable range is 14.4 to 14.6 volts)
-
Absorption Time: The recommended setting for our lithium batteries is half an hour per 100ah of LiFePO4 battery (for example, if you have 2 -100ah batteries, select 1 hour).
-
Float Voltage: 13.5 volts (13.6 volts or lower is acceptable for LiFePO4 batteries)
-
Equalization voltage: 14.4 volts (you do not need to equalize Lithium-ion; you will have to equalize turned off, but in case it ever runs a cycle, the batteries will be fine at this voltage)
-
