The default charge mode and adaptive charge logic is well suited for most common battery types; such as flooded lead-acid, AGM and Gel.
Selection of lithium charge mode and advanced configuration with user defined settings is possible using the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet).
It is possible to charge multiple batteries simultaneously, providing that the combined battery capacity is within the recommended battery capacity limits for the particular charger - see section 8 ‘Technical specifications'.
