SoC difference smartshunt / multiplus 12/1600/70

On my newly installed multiplus 12/1600/79 and the smartshunt connected to a LiFePO4 house battery. Both read two different SoC. Example when the multiplus is at 100% the smartshunt read 88%. Both are starting at 100%. I got 300W PV connected. I tried the most obvious, to synchronize when the battery is at 100%.

Anyone knows what happening and perhaps know how to get same SoC readout on both.

Hi @Nielsen

You should switch off the battery monitor in the MultiPlus if there is a BMV/SmartShunt in the system. In addition, the SmartShunt is much more accurate.

Provided the settings of the SmartShunt are correct, it will also provide very accurate data
