5.5.2. DIP switch 3 to 7
These DIP switches can be used to set:
- Battery charge voltage and Absorption time
- Inverter frequency
- Search mode
- AC input current limit 12 A or 6 A

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.

Store the settings by moving DIP switch 8 to 'on' and back to 'off'.
