Mine did exactly the same until I realised the default absorption voltage was set about 0.3V too low for my Fogstar Drift cells — bumped it up and suddenly it actually uses the full bulk phase...
Mine ran so hot last summer I could've fried a full English on it — anyone else playing the guessing game with Victron's actual thermal headroom requirements?
