Then the BBMT would need a better MCU ADC. Before I suggest a stm32H, do the Hawks Bay and Barcelona use a MCU with those capabilities (4bank differential current inputs + a couple extras for BattV)? I love standardization.

I would argue that a tenth or two of voltage inaccuracy isn't a big problem, even for most lithium.

 

I agree but when that differential approaches .5v and above it would interfere with absorb times and actual float voltage. Once it gets to 1v and above it should trigger some sort of warning of connection issues.

I pride myself in diagnostic skills and NOT knowing everything. I do know how to ask the right questions of those who should know the answers. I can do this politely.

Can I ask what MCU is used in the Hawkes bay and Barcelona?
