3 206ah heated SOK Batteries connected to Lynx Power In
All battery cables of exactly same length
Power In connected to Lynx Shunt
Lynx Shunt connected to Lynx Distributor
Aims 3000W inverter charger connected to Lynx Distributor
Batteries discharge relative to position on Lynx Power In. Small system and only one and at times 2 batteries discharge at all while 3rd battery rarely falls below 100%
Are your batteries properly wired?
All connections properly torqued?
"Small system"? How small? What current?
Hi @jrpatroller some trouble shooting might be in order.
- Have the batteries been through the necessary 2 complete charge / discharge cycles to synchronise the State of Charge?

Do this to each battery independently of the others.
- How does each battery perform when they are individually connected?
- What happens when all of the batteries are connected and you swap the first and third one over.
- Given that the batteries all have their own individual BMS are these configured identically and are the batteries the same temperature?
Hope this helps.
The system has NOT been through a complete discharge cycle. It is in a small off grid cabin that is only in use 3-5 days a month. The "lowest" battery soc that I've seen is 65%, second battery mid 80% and third battery doesn't come much off 100% by the time I leave. 800W of solar charge the batteries during the stay and by the time of the next visit all batteries are back up to 100%. Small 12V refrigerator (wired directly to Lynx Distributor), 110V water pump/very minimal use, and 4 LED lights through Aims Inverter - so not much load.
I could certainly turn off panels to discharge the batteries if that is what is needed. If you have any other suggestions I am willing to try them. I just don't want to damage the batteries.
