Battery charging ~500W for ages when already at 99%

We've had a few sunny days of the last week and I've noticed that my battery is only getting to 99%. I've read the FAQ bit at https://www.sunsynk.org/lithium-batteries about not reaching 100%, but I don't really understand what it's saying.


However, what's more worrying I suppose is that fact it's been drawing >500W to the battery for the last 2 hours even though the battery is pretty much full. 2 hrs x 0.5kW = 1 kW of charge is it not, so that can't be right. I've also configured the timer so only allow the battery to discharge after 6pm (it's 3pm here now as I type, so the battery is not powering the house.)

I've checked this data also in SolarAssistant and it shows the constant draw. So what's going on?


These are my battery settings:

I notice from the manual there are a few settings that don't match. I've got a 5.12kWh battery and it says the capacity is 100Ah, not 200, for example. Should all the settings found here (https://www.sunsynk.org/lithium-batteries) be the settings that should be set above?

Capacity is not actually used for anything if you have battery with BMS that is communicating.
