7. All features and settings
This chapter explains all battery monitor settings. In addition to this we also have a video available explaining these settings and
how the interact with each other to achieve accurate battery monitoring for both lead acid and lithium batteries.

7.1. How to change settings
Settings can be changed by using the VictronConnect app.
7.1.1. Accessing settings via the VictronConnect app
To access and change setting parameters do the following:
• Click on the settings symbol
• To navigate from the general settings menu to the product settings menu, click on the menu symbol .
For information on how to connect with the VictronConnect app to the battery monitor, see the
chapter.
7.1.2. Saving, loading and sharing settings in VictronConnect
In the settings menu you can find the following 3 symbols:
Save settings to file - This will save settings for reference or for later use.
Load settings from file - This will load earlier saved settings.
Share settings file – This allows you to share the settings file via email, message, airdrop and so on. The available sharing
options depend on the platform used.
For more information on these features, see the
7.2. Battery settings
The battery settings can be used to fine-tune the battery monitor. Please be careful when you change these settings, as a change
might affect the battery monitor's state of charge calculations.
7.2.1. Battery capacity
This parameter is used to tell the battery monitor how big the battery is. This setting should already have been done during the
initial installation.
The setting is the battery capacity in Amp-hours (Ah).
For more information on the battery capacity and the related Peukert exponent see the
exponent [30]
chapter.
Setting
Battery capacity
7.2.2. Charged voltage
The battery voltage must be above this voltage level to consider the battery as fully charged. As soon as the battery monitor
detects that the voltage of the battery has reached this "charged voltage" parameter and the current has dropped below the
current
[22]" parameter for a certain amount of time, the battery monitor will set the state of charge to 100%.
Setting
Charged voltage
The "charged voltage" parameter should be set to 0.2V or 0.3V below the float voltage of the charger.
The table below indicates the recommended settings for lead acid batteries.
