False 100% SOC - bmv-712

Hi hope someone can help pls


My new bmv712 just jumped from 92%soc to 100%.

Its first thing in the morning, my solar panels are just starting to make power. I think the problem is, it's seeing the low amps they're making as a tail current so thinks the batteries are full.

Is there a way to fix this? Have I got something wrong in the settings?

48v system of AGM batteries


Thank you

Your tail current is set to 1%. This is 3.23 amps on your system.

It will help if you increase charge detection time and charge efficiency, maybe 95% for efficiency. Time depending on local conditions.

Also take a look at discharge floor. This won't affect the graphs, but will give a false impression of usable capacity. For lithium, probably best to set it at 10% or slightly higher.

Thank you , took your advice, changed the settings, manually reset the SOC to 92%.


After a bit a sun the batteries actually reached 100% full , charge controller went to a low amp float, victron shunt reads 100%soc


I'm a happy man . I'll give it a few cycles and play with the settings


Much appreciated
