Been running a 200W panel (Risen RSM40-8-200M) into a 100Ah lithium (Fogstar Drift) via the SmartSolar 100/20 for about three months now.

Great timing on this thread — I made the switch last spring on my 60ft trad and haven't looked back.

IanWhite replied: @BenKing80 yes, seen this exact issue on mine and a few others have mentioned it over the years.

Been running a Cerbo GX as the hub of my system for about eight months now and mostly love it, but I keep hitting the same frustrating issue.

Been meaning to write this up for a while. Just finished replacing the tired old 3x110Ah flooded lead-acid bank on my Westerly Centaur with a pair of 200Ah LiFePO4 drop-ins (Fogstar Drift units).

Been scratching my head over this one for a few weeks now. My Victron SmartSolar 100/30 consistently shows a higher state of charge than my Victron BMV-712 battery monitor — sometimes by as much...

@MarineAlan good question on the AC input voltage — worth checking your AC input low voltage threshold in VE.Configure.
