 //Fixed absorption time://
 The same length of absorption is applied every day (when there is enough solar power) by using the maximum absorption time setting. Be aware that this option can result in overcharging your batteries, especially for lead batteries and system with shallow daily discharges. See your battery manufacturer for recommended settings.
+//Note:// make sure to disable the tail current setting to make the same absorption time every day. The tail current could end absorption time sooner if the battery current is below the threshold. See more information on the tail current setting section below.

   - **Automatic Energy Selector**: Off when Vbatt < Vlow. And On when Vbatt > Vhigh. When conditions are met Load will be on for a pre-selected time. Note; This mode is only available on SmartSolar Models.
-Note that, by default, the models with a load output have their algorithm selected with a jumper in the VE.Direct port. This can be disabled using the VE.Direct Rx pin configuration (see **4.5** below). Or remove the jumper from the VE.Direct port when using VictronConnect to configure the load ouput operation mode, the drawing below shows where the jumper is located.
+Note that, by default, the models with a load output have their algorithm selected with a jumper in the VE.Direct port:
+  * no jumper -> user selected algorithm in VictronConnect (defaults to BatteryLife algorithm)
+  * jumper between pin 1 and 2 -> conventional algorithm 1
+  * jumper between pin 2 and 3 -> conventional algorithm 2
+Therefore, to configure an algorithm using VictronConnect, either remove the jumper, or change the VE.Direct RX pin configuration to Remote on/off, see **4.5** below. When a VE.Direct cable is connected, for example to a GX Device, or a Bluetooth dongle, then the "no jumper" configuration will be active. Both when the GX Device is powered, as well as when its off. The drawing below shows where the jumper is located.

 Available options:
-  - **Remote on/off (This is the default setting on all larger models)**. This setting allows remote on/off control: (0V = switch charger off, +5V (or a signal sent via VE.Direct communication) = switch charger on). An example of this operation is when the unit is connected to a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-bus-bms|VE.BUS BMS]] (using a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-direct-non-inverting-remote-on-off-cable|VE.Direct non inverting remote on-off cable, ASS030550300]]).

   - **Load output configuration (This is the default setting on the following models: 75/10, 75/15, 100/15 and 100/20)**. The Tx pin can be used to place a jumper to select load output operation. See Load output chapter (**4.2** above) for details. This only applies to the 10A, 15A and 20A chargers with a load output.
   - **Load output on/off inverted** This setting reverses the load output on/off control: (0V = switch load output on, +5V = switch load output off)

 ==== 6. VE.Smart Networking ====
 This option is only available when the connection between the charger and VictronConnect is done over Bluetooth. This menu offers the possibility for the user to create or join an existing VE.Smart Network. By doing that, the user allow data to be exchanged between chargers and sensors. Please, refer to the [[victronconnect:ve-smart-networking|]] manual for more information about the possibilities over that feature.
