Question regarding SOC limits - Why is the active SOC stuck at 70% ?

Good morning,

my Victron System came to life yesterday and now I am starting to play with parameters to learn how everything works. :)

As a first step I tried to set the SOC Limits of the battery to learn if it is possible to survive a night with the battery only.

I set the Minimum SOC to 30% and my plan was to recharge the battery by seting it back to 100% manually as soon as the sun is shining today.

Unfortunately - although I was able to set the Minium SOC to 30% - the Active SOC limit is stuck at 70% and I cannot change it. The battery was went down to 70% during the night and was stuck there as well.

The actual current is at 48,7V and I would like to go down to 47V.

Is there another parameter I have to set ? (Mode = Optimized (with BatteryLife)

BR

It could be your (Mode = Optimized (with BatteryLife) stopping discharge. Try Optimized (without BatteryLife) and see the difference.
