Taggin you howson since you seem to be the resident expert / fanboy. :-)
So I got my SmartShunt all wired up, and even figured out the amp hours of my battery so that it's set correctly.
I've got the battery charging right now. Has been for the last 5 or so days, so I should be at, or near 100% SOC in the morning when I plan on resuming playing with this.
Here are my questions:

I've got the battery charging right now. Has been for the last 5 or so days, so I should be at, or near 100% SOC in the morning when I plan on resuming playing with this.
Here are my questions:
- When I zero the SOC, Do I have to follow any kind of procedure? Off shore power, let the battery sit, etc? Victron Manual seems quiet on this question.
- Any recommendations on settings? I found this in the Manual:
- The SmartShunt synchronises too early
This can be the case in solar systems or other applications with fluctuating charge currents. Take the following measures to reduce the probability for the SmartShunt to prematurely set the state of charge to 100%: • Increase the “charged” voltage to slightly below the absorption charge voltage. For example: 14.2V in case of 14.4V absorption voltage (for a 12V battery). • Increase the “charged detection time” and/or decrease the tail current to prevent an early reset due to passing clouds.
