Hello, I have 3 x 130A 12V Victron AGM batteries installed in parallel in my sailing boat. They are in new condition. Appreciate if you can let me know what tail current should I set at smartshunt to achieve precise SOC readings. Thanks

When my Victron AGM batteries were new I used 1%, so for your case 4A. Now they are 3.5 years old I have increased this to 1.2%, so 5A.

Also make sure the Charged Voltage setting in the SmartShunt is 0.2V below absorption. See
