• Number of full discharges: The number of full discharges. A full discharge is counted when the state of charge reaches 0%.
Battery voltage
• Min battery voltage: The lowest battery voltage.
• Max battery voltage: The highest battery voltage.
Voltage alarms
• Low voltage alarms: The number of low voltage alarms.
• High voltage alarms: The number of high voltage alarms.
5.6. Alarms
The battery monitor can raise an alarm in the following situations:
• Low battery state of charge (SOC).
• Low battery voltage.
• High battery voltage.
The alarm will activate when the value reaches a set threshold and will deactivate when the value clears this threshold. The
thresholds are configurable. For more information, see the
Alarm settings [28]
chapter.
The alarm will be displayed on the head unit, a buzzer will sound, the display backlight will flash, and the alarm icon will be visible
on the display. An alarm is acknowledged when a button is pressed. However, the alarm icon is displayed as long as the alarm
condition remains. The programmable relay can be triggered depending on the configuration of the alarm settings.
The alarm is also a software alarm.
When connecting with the VictronConnect app, while an alarm is active, the alarm will show in the app. Alternatively, when the
battery monitor is connected to a GX device, the alarm will show on the GX device display or the VRM portal.
In the case of the VictronConnect app, an alarm is acknowledged when a button is pressed. And in the case of a GX device, an
alarm is acknowledged when viewed in notifications. The alarm icon is displayed as long as the alarm condition remains.

5.7. Synchronising the battery monitor
For a reliable readout, the state of charge, as displayed by the battery monitor, must self-synchronise regularly with the true state
of charge of the battery. This is to prevent drift of the "State of charge" value over time. A synchronisation will reset the state of
charge of the battery to 100%.
5.7.1. Automatic synchronisation
Synchronisation is an automatic process and will occur when the battery has been fully charged. The battery monitor will look at
a few parameters to ascertain that the battery has been fully charged. It will consider the battery to be fully charged when the
voltage has reached a certain value and the current has dropped below a certain value for a certain amount of time.
These parameters are called:
• Charged voltage - the float voltage of the battery charger.
• Tail current - a percentage of the battery capacity.
• Charged detection time - the time in minutes.
As soon as these 3 parameters have been met, the battery monitor will set the state of charge value to 100%, thus synchronising
the state of charge.
Example:
In the case of a 12V battery, the battery monitor will reset the battery's state of charge to 100% when all these parameters have
been met:
