Bmv 712 smart

I'm doing a load test and still can't get my state of charge down under 100%

I have the battery's set at 600 amp but surly when I use power the % of charge should drop? Can someone from Victron help me with my new purchase?

Do the maths.

(edit) From your screenshot, 2ah drawn from a 600ah battery, (2 / 600 = 0.3333% used, ie 99.67% Full)

I did a load test tuned all on to -15amp draw still at 99% is it just Victron is so good? I have never seen my battery's sitting at 99% since installing them?

You are going to have to QUANTIFY what you are saying.

You have a load of XX amp for XX hours?????????

Leading to the BMV showing XX ah drawn????

Giving a SOC of XX%?

Dropped the amp capacity to 100 amphr and now getting 85% state of charge that's looking better.
