Battery charging in float stage

Hi - If somebody can help on this.. If you see below my battery is on float state and reading shows 54.9V. But the setting in the configuration for float is 55.2V. But the charge never goes beyond 54.9V and its always charging. When I check the voltage at the battery terminal its at 55.2V.

Is this an issue if its always charging or why does it no go beyond 54.9. The distance between the battery and the Easy solar is less than a feet. How do I correct this?

Need some more info to properly assess and provide feedback - particularly battery type, battery capacity, charge voltage temp coefficient, typical ambient temperature, what your using as the battery monitor (Multi or a BMV) & where it's measuring the voltage.

The charge voltage set points are normally compensated for temperature so I'm assuming that the temperature might be higher than 25degC if the actual charge voltage is lower than what is set. If so this is normal and expected.

Any difference in battery monitor voltage and what you measure directly at the battery terminals could be due to a variance between the cable losses between the 2 different measurement points and the actual measurement equipment.

Hi - This is the screen shots from the VE configure. I dont have a BMV but from the Console the readings are calculated and displayed. You can also see the other parameters in https://vrm.victronenergy.com/installation/34053/share/47db99b3.


Hope this helps
