How do you verify accuracy in SoC readings?

How often do you reset / recalibrate ?

What is that process like?

Do they take into account or do you need to determine input AH capacity yourself?

I can really see the value of logging / benchmarking Amps in/out, SG doesn't give that.

You need to enter the batteries size on setup.

Both of my meters, an old Link 10 and a Bluesky, reset themselves. The Bluesky is a little smarter on how it resets. Either way the vast majority of the time they tend to track each other closely.

As I mentioned earlier, they give me the info I need to make choices that I need to make. I guess if they were more accurate and I could tell that I am actually only at 98% full in the late afternoon I would then order the Sun to stay up for an additional two hours to complete the charge

So if you knew how quickly their actual capacity was reducing over time, entering that revised level would improve accuracy.

Might be 1% every month, but of course might be more, and it's not linear.

Again, at this point I don't need any increase in accuracy.
The loss is less than 1% a month on batts that are charged properly. If that rate were true my batts would be at minus capacity.
