When I look in the VRM portal, it show this: Why is it discharging for almost 900w while I'm only using 200w? Shouldn't it be charging my batteries for roughly that much instead?

No BMV or even BMS, Tesla Battery Module -> Shunt -> Distributor -> Quattro-II. Was handling balancing with my iCharger before the Quattro-II. Now I'm working on setting up a Orion 2 BMS instead but it isn't connected yet.

Yep, that was the problem! Ghee do I feel smart... I watched some YouTube video about installing it and the guy said, "It has to be installed from right to left" so I clearly misunderstood his meaning.
