Then magically an hour later it shows the batteries at full charge
    I did contact Victron and Battle Born, i was referred to this video which helped me a lot with the setup

    Not sure what type of batteries you have though (mine is setup for Lithium) which would be a different configuration than with AGM or Wet Cell
    Be sure you have all ground wires from the trailer side devices on one side of the shunt and then only the negative connection of the battery ground to the other side of the shunt.

    For some reason that video isn't working right now, none are on the battle born site.

    I have the same batteries as you, I was on the other thread and replied about the percentage settings on the victron.

    What number did you use for Victron?

    01 Battery Capacity — 198AH *(i have 2 100a batts, Victron suggest use 99ah for each battery)
    02 Charged Voltage — 14.4v *
    03 Tail Current — 4.0% (You can change this down to 1%. This will allow the batteries be topped off in the absorption stage a little bit more. This will also allow extra time for balancing. If the charge current is high, than 4% of the charge current may be too high for the final top off.)
    04 Charged Detection — 03
    05 Puekert Exponent — 1.05 *
    06 Charge Efficiency Factor — 99% *
    07 Current Threshold — 0.10A
    08 Time to Go Averaging Period — 03
    09 Zero Current Calibration — ZERO
    10 Synchronize — SYNC
    11 Relay Mode – DFLT

    You may need to perform a sync when done

    Can you post a picture of that?
