Battery Rating vs Capacity Monitoring
Some things: Shipping batteries in the US requires the Watt-Hour rating to be marked on the battery, and the rule is to use the "nominal" voltage. So LFP uses their 12.8v figure for that 100AH x ...

Thanks. almost got it that time! :) so when the monitor is doing amps as the read-out, it says 5 amps no matter what the battery voltage is, 12.5 or 12.1 it still says 5 amps if that is the draw.
So is 5 amps at 12.5 the same draw as 5 amps at 12.1 ? the discharge graphs for decline in SOC are quite linear. (not so with charging graphs--not linear)
I know a light bulb gets lower in amps draw as voltage goes down and the lamp dims. to maintain a 5 amp load with lights you have to keep raising the voltage. (if that has anything to do with whether 5 amps is 5 amps or that is just because lamps do that)
