SmartLithium Battery (200ah) Temperature Offset - very confused

Cold last night, about freezing, 32F, no heat in the van at all, and I was not in it. This morning, still freezing out, I checked the battery temps in the Victron App, and each showed ~66F. I also noted the temperature offset setting, and mine showed +38F and "Resulting temperature: 124F. I have never touched that setting on my three batteries. I thought maybe I could adjust it to match the ambient temperature, so I tried. I could adjust the offset down to 20F, but the "Resulting temperature" then read 106F. Sorry, but none of this makes sense to me. Any suggestions? I do not want to be charging if below 40F.

Hi Brent,

I am having the same issue. Battery temperature offset keeps changing automatically. I was wondering if you found any solution to this issue?

Thanks!

Hi Brent,

Having same problem as well. You can reset battery temp to default (zero offset) by going to settings (gear symbol), then three vertical dots in upper right corner. Temp will read properly for a short period, then revert to 38-43 degree offset. I have not received any help on this yet.

Glitch with Fahrenheit degrees and temperature auto calibration in Victron connect, should have resolution soon. For now, set Victron connect to degrees celsius, add offset of -1 degree celsius. This works correctly as a temporary work around. Batteries will not perform auto temp. calibration when an offset is entered.

Is the glitch in the app, or on your side?
