Or edit a reply that's a minute or two old before you post again (like I did here).

Those cells usually balance out to decimal 000 or 001

Cuz I’m a newbie and daf

This is been a huge success. I learned tons. If I haven’t said that before let me just say that.

Cell imbalances really only show up when at full (or 0%) state of charge.

In the middle of the capacity range (e.g. from 2% - 98% SOC) it's not likely to show much cell voltage difference.

If there is a sizeable difference in cell voltages when in the middle range then you have a problem. What sort of problem then depends on other things.

So on most days when I only charge it to 80% do I need to let it rest after I turn the solar switch or the 60 amp charger off?

Good to hear!

I can’t resist.

Glad things worked out.

No, resting is ONLY required to get a GUESS on what voltage has to say about state of charge. That is the only thing a resting battery will help you with.

There is no reason to turn the solar on or off. When set correctly just let it do its thing.

what a great place this is
I’ve never been on a forum before either

Was that after discharging, or after charging?

 

[Echo Dawn]

That’s about an hour ago after charging I still haven’t put a load on it yet. It’s just chilling.

time says 15:38 on the screenshot of my phone so that’s when it .
