My Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 charge controller does not monitor the battery state of charge. However, it will show how many Ah the charger itself is providing to the battery.

I presume you meant "Newpowa". If so, I found this to be the case for me also. The Newpowa MC4 connectors fit loose when I connected the Newpowa MC4 connectors to all my other non Newpowa brand panels and also when connected to other non Newpowa MC4 connectors I crimped up myself. :mad:
