Victron 75/15 and Crown 31DC130 settings.
I have a Victron 75/15 charge controller with 200w of solar and a pair of Interstate 31TMXU which are Crown 31DC130 batteries. Here are a couple of links to literature on these Crown batteries. Cro...

Thanks for the replies!
Getting access to the battery fill caps is not an easy deal, so regularly checking the specific gravity or looking for bubbling cells is not going to be possible on a regular basis. The battery in the OE location must be removed from the compartment to access the fill caps and I only do that a couple times a year to check the electrolyte level. I will check specific gravity when I service it this spring. The second "add on" battery is located in the LH front corner of the bed and is not accessible when the camper is on the truck.
Now back to the original question.......solar charger settings.
Bulk set at?? 15V or does it need to be higher???????
Absorb 15V
Equalize 15.6V
Float 13.5V
I don't think the max amp values can be set on this controller and it is probably not an issue with only 200 watts of solar.
Thanks again!
