BMV-712 Output- explanation?

The VictronConnect program shows the BMV-712 output but I do not understand what it means. For example- I suspect that a minus sign beside Output----Power----- -60w means that 60watts are being "pulled" from the battery. For that matter I assume that a minus sign beside any of the figures means power is being removed from the battery.victron.png

Attached is a screenshot of both the MPPT 150/60 and BMV-712.

Hi @PDA1,

that's correct. A minus indicates that energy is pulled from the battery. In the above example 55W are currently get into the battery (26.65V x 2.06A).
In total minus 1Ah have been discharged from the battery during the actual charge/discharge cycle.
