Yes, there is a bug/error in victron system SOC calculation.  
It is very close to an offset that would be generated if the multi/quattro self consumption was not included in the SOC calculation.  
For some strange reasons victron ‘experts’ here just say the multi/quattro charging shunt/meter is either crude, inaccurate or non-existent, when its clearly actually pretty good apart from this offset.  
Graphs showing this and a brief description available here (scroll up for first post):

> Look you have missed the point. I know what is causing the problem and how to crudely deal with it. Read my post and checkout the graphs I have provided, it’s all very simple. BUT Victron need to sort out the System SOC calculation so its reasonably accurate because its needlessly and damagingly misreporting when there is no need for it to do so. Assuming any victron people ever read stuff posted here.
