Batteries with high antimony content can typically be charged with a lower absorption
voltage than batteries with low antimony content. (Please refer to our book "Electricity on
Board" downloadable from our website www.victronenergy.com for details and suggestions
about charging batteries). Contact your battery supplier for the correct charge voltages and
change (with VE-configure) the voltage settings if required.
The default charge current setting is 75% of the maximum charge current. This current will be
too high for most applications.
For most battery types the optimal charge current is 0.1-0.2x the battery capacity.
