Anyone else using a Victron Orion-Tr Smart to charge LiFePO4 from a alternator — what absorption voltage are you running?
EmmaButler | 847 posts @ROW_OffGrid I've been running 14.2V absorption with a fairly short absorption time — around 20 minutes — on a similar Fogstar setup and it's been solid.

Anyone else running Victron MPPT alongside a split-charge relay — worth ditching the relay entirely?
