What charging precedence strategy are you using with your REC-BMS-controlled-Victron-Energy-LiFePO4 marine system?


  • Hello All,

    What charging precedence strategy are you using with your REC-BMS-controlled-Victron-Energy-LiFePO4 marine battery system? 

    I have Multiplus-IIs, Wakespeed WS-500, MPPT solar charge controllers, battery chargers all connected to the Cerbo-GX. My charging will be through the main engine alternator, shore power connection, and the solar charge controllers. The strategy needs to accmodate dock-side charging, at anchor and underway with the main engine until I raise the sails, at which point I will either rely only on the 1100 watts of solar, or the generator (as needed). I think that VE has the ability to prioritize charging, but do not know how well it woks. I plan on looking into it today.

    What technique are you using to program your system to use the cheapest charging sources?

    If there is an existing thread, I have not found it.

    Thanks!
