Lithium Upgrade and Interface w/ Iota DLS-30 IQ4

[kmcintyre]

After ordering the lithium module for DLS-30, I still wasn't getting the max voltage I wanted for lithium so I inquired with IOTA and received the response below. Ultimately I changed out to the IP-22 to not only have a complete cohesive Victron system but I wanted more control over the charger to run the voltage up to 14.4 to initiate the BMS into balancing as battery maintenance every so often. When home, truck is parked insode so having a good shore power sysem was important to me and I like having a view of all charging systems on the Victron app. On the road DC/DC and solar does a great job.

We are writing you about your case #05598050.
So our charge works like this... the unit starts out as a constant current charger when the battery voltage starts to rise the current drops until the changer becomes a consonant voltage charger.
So as the voltage rises the current drops this is how all of our charges work they will only put out max current when used as a power supply only.
If the unit keeps putting 30 amps on the battery it would destroy the battery over time.

That's what I did too. I used the IP22 w/ 3 outputs in case I ever want to add more batteries but with a 314Ah battery I suspect I'll be fine .
