By the sounds of things this is because the battery monitor function in the Multiplus has not yet been setup or selected yet.

To set it up you need a MK3 to USB cable & VE configure software that you can download from the Victron site. Then you can specify the battery bank capacity & a few other things so that it properly tracks the battery capacity.

Then you need to select the intended/correct battery monitor source on the CCGX if it does not come up automatically, this is under;

Settings > System Setup > Battery Monitor > MultiPlus on VE Bus

This is the related extract from the CCGX manual;
