Actually, the SG only tells you SOC when the batteries are like new.
Once they are somewhat sulfated with normal wear and tear or just plain sulfated, they are at lower capacity than when new, but they still show full voltage when full, but a lower SG at full.
So you have to "know your battery" and have your own version of the standard SG/SOC chart. Still need the hydrometer to tell where you are at.
