My educated guess is that your shunt used for the is not wired correctly and is not counting the current from the Orion. My guess is the negative wire from the hull or chassis or starter battery is connected direct to your house batteries rather than the system side of the shunt. See the linked FAQ. > [@Shunt / battery monitor not reading the correct SOC/ Amps, missing solar, decreasing daily or other misreading problems](https://community.victronenergy.com/t/shunt-battery-monitor-not-reading-the-correct-soc-amps-missing-solar-decreasing-daily-or-other-misreading-problems/87): > > This topic covers the SOC / Amps reported by BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, Lynx BMSs and Lynx Shunts and will just be called shunt below. It is also assumed that the shunt is monitoring the domestic / house / cabin battery bank and not engine start / bow thruster / winch / caravan mover battery banks. The problems may be one or more of the following The SOC decreases daily despite the solar charger or other charger(s) working. The SOC increasing when discharging and falling when charging… The DC current is a calculated value, it is not measured. The software takes the battery current, plus the measured chargers, less the measure d use in the inverter and what is left is used by the DC loads.

The symptoms are typically that the DC power does not match with a calculation using the power shown and the battery, solar and ac tiles and/or that the DC System Power is erratic or jumping about. [DC system tile] To see the DC System tile, it needs “Has DC System” enabled in the System Setup Menu of the Venus device.
