My alternator stopped charging my battery. I found this regular and there is nothing lit up. No numbers or letters like In This video. I’m trying to troubleshoot and Thor forum brought me to this video. Can anyone help?
Hi, I have just installed 2 x 614's and a centerfielder on my Catamaran, which charges my Victron lithium house bank, when the house bank reaches 14.3V, the Balmar shuts off the alternators output until it drops to 14.2V then ramps output again until 14.3V, is there a way of reducing this on/off charging when the batteries are full ? it seems like the alternator should ramp up at a lower voltage than 14.2, this causes the engine revs to increase and decrease every minute, I will set the BLM to 4 in the meantime but this wont stop the short on/off of the alternator, many thanks
Where do i get a list of all the short display keys. For example, Fv = Float Voltage. I have a Balmar that came from the RV outfitter, but i do not have any manual that states all the different keys. I would like to know, if what i am ready is correctly configured. Do you have a support team i could call & explain?

I would think Float and Absorption should be set to 0 for a LFP battery to turn the alternator off at 90-100SoC?
why set float lower than absorb? seems backwards
So if I use this system in a vehicle, won't the "cycle" restart everytime I stop and start my vehicle ? This screws up the charging cycle I think
What is the ripple amount on a Balmer 614 with thec280XP 3 belt Alternator.

Google your Balmar model and download the manual.
