Low current mode
If enabled the maximum charge current is limited to 50% of the maximum rated charge current (refer to 'Technical Specifications' section for more information) and the cooling fan will be disabled.
Low current mode is recommended when charging lower capacity batteries with a high current charger; charging at an excessive charge current can cause premature battery degradation and overheating.
Typically the maximum charge current for lead acid based batteries should not exceed ~0.3C (more than 30% of the battery capacity in Ah) and the maximum charge current for LiFePO4 batteries should not exceed ~0.5C (more than 50% of the battery capacity in Ah).
When low current mode is enabled the NIGHT LED will blink.
Low current mode can be enabled and disabled via the MODE button on the charger or a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app; refer to the 'Setup > Setup using the charger' or 'Setup > Setup using Bluetooth' section for more information.
Notice
It is also possible to set the charge current limit to a user defined value between the maximum rated charge current and the minimum charge current limit (25% of maximum) using a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app; refer to the 'Advanced Configuration > Advanced settings' section for more information.
When the charge current limit is set to or below 50% of the maximum rated charge current the NIGHT LED will blink.
