Another LB / Victron charging question

[sca7fy]

Hi guys, I've done a fair bit of reading through the forum, but the settings for these seem to be quite individual to the set up, I'm very new to all this so hoping for advice.

My LB (a Hankook XV110MF) charges fine from EHU, but not so much whilst driving, I have done a few journeys up to 3hrs but the battery indicator didn't show an increase in power.

A) should a journey of that length have been enough for it to fully charge?


I've screenshotted the settings from the Victron app...





B) should it stay in supply mode or should I be changing to charging mode?

I haven't put it into charging mode or changed any of the settings but they are preset as;







Hopefully this is enough to answer?

you need to change the mode from POWER SUPPLY, to CHARGER.


then leave everything else default

AGM Spiral for AGM,

Auto engine detection mode,

Thanks Dell,

Should i be changing that back to power supply for any other situation, or fine to stay on charger mode?

...and does it matter that the battery isn't AGM?

Charger mode - Uses a set algorithm to charge the chosen battery type.

Power Supply mode - outputs a constant output voltage set within the unit settings.
