I have recently taken delivery of 12 x 12V Victron Smart lithium batteries. I expected them to be around 50% SOC but in fact they were either 100% SOC or within 2% go that. Is there something wrong here or have I been misinformed?

12 volt lithium Smart battery SOC on delivery?
@jonathanmosse
As lithium has a regulation about how much energy it has in it when shipped, your assumption of it not bwing fully charged would be correct 30 to 50% soc.
Check with your supplier. Some as a courtesy charge up the batteries before delivery. I have one supplier that does this. It also ensures a good first charge and top balance before going into a customers system. Which alot of people skip.
