Default Voltage alert ranges, EarthX battery

What ranges are people using for green / yellow / red voltage in the EFIS with the EarthX battery?

Since the resting voltage is higher than the Odyssey and others, I was curious how you guys have set things up for monitoring.

Thanks
Thomas

I haven't changed mine yet from the Odyssey settings yet. But then I've only flown it twice since I installed the EarthX batteries. I'm getting ready to start my condition inspection, so I'll probably evaluate then.

Their manual covers it all, look at page 22 for voltage settings on the EFIS. Don’t forget to hook up the BMS light which is also covered in the manual.

I looked over that manual online last night several times ... and somehow overlooked that!
