How can I check the capacity status of my Peak Power Pack full /half or empty?

I have the 40Ah version and the Bluetooth Dongle. But there are no informations About the state of charge.

Hello,

Unfortunate that is correct, as there are multiple way of charging this SOC calculation is hard to do.

Hi @Johannes Boonstra (Victron Energy Staff) , there seems to be quite a demand to have that information. The PPP has two means of charging, and two means of discharging. Would a combination of two Smart Shunts allow for the respective information? I really would like to have your (Victron's) engineers to provide a cookbook solution for this. Eventually it means you'll sell more devices :-) I sure as heck will buy whatever is needed.

Only way i would use is the Smart Shunt or the BMV-712.
But the Smart Shunt is not so pricy. A bit cheaper around 50 Euro.

Hi @mike4nl , as I've also commented to the other post, the PPP has two ways of charging and two ways of discharging. I assume one SmartShunt would not work anyways, but might two do the trick?

You have research or consult the manufacturer for a voltage-to-SOC chart specific to your battery type (lead-acid, lithium-ion, etc.). This chart helps estimate SOC based on voltage. And use the Bluetooth dongle and the manufacturer's app to read the current voltage of the battery. Compare it with the voltage-to-SOC chart to estimate the SOC.
