Victron BMV-700 consumed Ah 0

I have a problem with the consumed Ah. It is always showing 0.

The voltage is OK and the actual current shows the right sign and value. I have checked all the settings and everything seems to be right. Is the Ah calculated on the ”Display”-side? If the voltage and the current is correct, why is not the Ah? Could something be wrong with the cable?

Sounds strange, I recommend to reconfirm;

- That the BMV indicates POSITIVE (+) current when charging and NEGATIVE (-) current when discharging

- That you have the shunt wiring the correct way around (not reversed) - battery only on the side marked 'battery' (the side closest to the UTP cable) and everything else (loads and chargers) on the other side marked 'loads /charger'

- That you have set the correct battery capacity

I have checked what you recommended and everything is OK. I also verified the charging current with a clamp meter.


Do you have any more ideas?
