BMV-712 - Total Charge Cycles total in the Bluetooth Victron Connect App
Hi; did you check the bmv manual? It explains how this works. The conclusion is that the cycle counter is not reliable to see age of the battery.

We re-tested this quite recently; and conclusion was that it works ad advertised (though has limited value).
