BMV712 ... difference in SoC between display and app

On the display of the BMV712 there is one digit after the decimal point. This is not the case on the app and that creates confusion. If the app says 80%, it could essentially be 79.5% to 80.4% on the display. What is your opinion of that ?

Hi @Takamine

It's inconsistent and a little annoying. VRM reports it to 1 decimal point and the MarineMFD app to integers. VictronConnect app to integers, but you can find it to 1dp in the batt settings, or count the steps in the Trends graph if you have good eyes.

Some might say that SOC isn't that accurate, but 1dp is needed to actually tune the device. I use a Smartshunt so don't have the BMV screen.

I'd like to see them all tidied up.. to one decimal point..
