Curious how accurate everyone’s BMS readings are right now. Mine’s been showing a solid 100% after charging, but I can tell from usage it’s not really full. I think the calibration might be slowly drifting because the numbers don’t match my daily draw anymore. I’m using a mix of solar charging and grid top-offs, so maybe that’s throwing it off. Has anyone done a full recalibration recently and noticed a big change? I don’t want to overthink it, but I’m starting to wonder if I should be tracking my cycles manually for a bit. I figure a few percentage points off won’t matter too much, but if it starts reading high all the time, that could get annoying fast.
How much do you trust your BMS numbers right now?

That’s a good observation! BMS accuracy tends to wander a bit when charge sources vary or if you’re rarely cycling the battery fully. Some systems relearn automatically after a few full cycles, but others need a manual recalibration. How long has it been since your last full discharge and recharge?

I’d trust the BMS “mostly,” but not blindly. The mix of charging sources makes it wander a few points. A slow full recharge usually tightens the numbers again. I wouldn’t bother tracking manually unless it gets really out of sync.

if you aren't hitting a true 100% at least once a week, the BMS eventually loses the plot
you should get a grid top off to 100% once a week and let it sit at the high voltage for an extra hour so the BMS can snap back to reality and balance the cells. it’s like a factory reset for your SOC
