Reply by MandyPalmer56: @Ian1968 Something worth looking at that hasn't been mentioned — check your BMS communication cable connections, particularly if you're using the UART port for the app.

MandyPalmer56 | Member @OldSailor75 I'd second the BMV-712 recommendation — it's what I've got paired with my Drift and it's been brilliant.

@Cleggy @OffGridJack really nailed it there. I'd add—don't forget phantom loads from converters and control systems. They're sneaky! Also, seasonal variation matters loads.
