Hi All. I'm new here so go easy on me. I've Googled for hours but can't find any solid answers. My setup is in my signature. So here's my issue.... Whether plugged into shore power, running my ...

IF you are using VOLTAGE to monitor SOC then one of two conditions must exist.
1: NO Current flowing save for the flea power needed by the volt meter..If you have a light on, or any other load..or if you have a converter on charging, the reading at the panel WILL BE FALSE
The other condition.
Meter at the batteries..NOT thew wires hooked to them but the batteries themselves.. Again,, Stopping ALL CURRENT (use disconnect) is needed for most accurate measurements.
Finally: SOC as measured with a hydrometer
IF that is low, but voltage is good.. EQUALIZE Battery may have stratifid.
