    @TMR-JWAP has the most posts on the CQ3 settings and quality of results, but I haen't seen any recent posts by him.
    I'll try to search out an older post or posts (if I can find them ) that might give you a few hints to start off.

    Main idea is to look for above 6500kw for capacity when finished cycling.
    Also look for the amount of kw recovery between cycle 1 and 3

    You can also cycle more than 3 times, if you think it's possible to get closer to 6500 kw capacity with another cycle of two. ;)

    Forum is saying the video not available today, no worries, I'll check back tomorrow to see if it been approved the forum moderators.

    Here is one youtubers CQ3 settings with some more steps he uses. I'm not recommending starting off at a 3 amp charge though until you get an idea of what the modules capacity are.
