11.9 Volts, 99.9% SOC, and MultiPlus Inverter Shuts Down

With LiFePO4 batteries, when my batteries reach 11.9 volts, the Multiplus 3000 shuts down but the Victron Battery Monitor still reads 99.9%. My installer says not to worry. Does this sound like normal operation? THANK YOU.

Hi. If that is new installation and everything cabled and configured correctly your battery monitor will show correct figures after one full discharge-charge cycle. So don't worry if that is case. If not please provide more information about your system.

11.9 volts is low for a full charge on a lithium battery. this should be closer to 14.2 - 14.4V depending on battery type. You will need to provide more details for a better diagnosis.
