BMV 712 always resets to 100% capacity after power is turned off and back on.

After turning off the key and the power to the 712 monitor the remaining amperage resets to 100% eleven if there is no charge. I am using the gauge on an electric boat so I need it to show accurate battery level and range between charges. Have I set the monitor incorrectly?

It would be better not to kill power to the 712, but if you’re worried about it draining batteries (the 712’s power consumption is less than previous models) and you don’t want it to reset to 100%, then you can go into the settings of the 712 using the Connect App and there you will find the ability to turn on or off this particular behavior along with Calibrating to 100% when you have full charge and no loads.
