Can I ask Calimili about the set up of the Victron? I think I have exactly the same hardware as you (since I think I copied you!) and I have seen that there are a few set up options on the charger under settings. Battery preset/ Equalization etc. Do you know what changes I have to make from the default settings?

I am confident I have the default 12V set up, please see screenshots below.
Quite frankly I don't even know what all those functions are for, I just have basic need of keeping my batteries charged. I've used the word "equalisation", in the contest of explaining that two batteries wired in parallel like in the Cali, will equalise themselves in terms of charge if you charge only one of them or viceversa draw current from just one of them.

Excellent, if that works for you then that will be perfect for me. Grateful for all the advice.
