Field notes

REFERENCE 25-00 · BATTERIES & ENERGY STORAGE Reference charging voltages for 12V nominal lead-acid (flooded/AGM) and LiFePO4 battery banks. Charging the wrong chemistry with the wrong profile is one of the most common causes of premature battery failure we see in the field.

Flooded & AGM Lead-Acid (12V Nominal)

Temperature compensation matters: lead-acid charging voltage should shift roughly −0.0167V per °F per cell (a 6-cell 12V battery) as ambient temperature rises or falls from 77°F (25°C). Most quality converters/charger...

LiFePO4 (12V Nominal)

These figures reflect common defaults from Victron and Battle Born — always confirm against your specific battery/BMS manufacturer’s published settings, since LiFePO4 charge profiles vary more between brands than lead...

Never Mix Charge Profiles

A converter or inverter/charger set for lead-acid absorption/float behavior will chronically undercharge a LiFePO4 bank (never reaching full capacity) or, on some older non-adjustable units, can fail to properly termi...
