Title: Battery type verification
Post by: mike cunningham on February 14, 2021, 11:02:10 AM
Have a Kid installed on boat.

I performed the initial set up on AGMs about four years ago when I installed my new Kid, all good. Just replaced my AGMs (with new AGMs) but can't find the menu item which allows me to verify batt type setting. Is this data only available when initially setting up the Kid or am I just missing the relevant menu item? Hopefully I don't need to perform a factory reset to get back tho these parameter settings.

I am running SW version 1811. I realize I should be updating but don't have a windows computer. We use Chromebooks exclusively.

Just enter proper setpoints for your battery and you are okay .
That setup question was probably just so people didn't turn on Kid and walk away and cook their batteries.

Ok, thanks Larry, I have completed battery voltage parameter settings consistent with batt mfg recommendations so should be good.
