How count battery cycle on a day ?

Hello

I have a question about battery cycling .

For example, a Victron battery Gel is give to 1800 cycle with 30% of discharge

With a solar charger regulator, I'm ok if the day the battery is charged and if I discharge the battery the night to 30% max / ok > 1 cycle


but when my regulator Victron charge the battery with the sun and when I have a load on the battery the day ( a phoenix 220V converter for example ) , the regulator can on a day pass bulk mode to absorption to float and if the sun is not enough , it pass again in bulk or absorption

So, on a bad day how many cycle count if multiple charge mode but never discharge < 30% battery discharge ?

float to bulk = 1 cycle ? > multiple cycle on a bad day ?

Thank for response

From what I am seeing on my sites the cycle count is preforming as below using a BMV 712

once a 25% cycle has happened 4 times this would then show on 1 cycle on the battery cycle meter.


well thats what I am see anyway
