Yes. When I was dry camping, i felt it was taking too long to get the batteries charged. The Victron 100-30 MPPT was set to the preset lithium settings. I changed it to "User Defined" and raised the absorption voltage to 14.8 and float to 14.6.
I looked up those definitions to get a better understanding of what happens when these thresholds are reached. That's why I raised the voltages. After doing that it stayed in "Bulk" mode much longer to get the batteries charged. I was not too worried about over doing it. You absolutely MUST know what the specs are for your batteries. Mine can charge at 65A (each, 4 in parallel).
