Put the OVMS module back in, it's currently in the void in the centre console sitting on top of whatever ECU/Device sits in there (Didn't seem to bother it last time).

Still can't poll when the car is locked without setting off the alarm :( and unless there's a way to disable OBD2 traffic setting off the alarm that probably won't ever be fixed, but I can at least get a GPS location for the car and see if it's charging by either polling and setting off the alarm (which I might just do if it's in a service station car park because who's likely to care) or just watching the 12V voltage.

One thing that does concern me slightly, and I'm not sure if it's a OVMS mispoll or if I have a weak cell.

Another thing does anyone know what a sensible 12V shutdown value would be to avoid killing the 12V I set it to 11.4, but that might already be too low.

Edit: Will do a balancing charge soon and see what it looks like after that, could just be it's not had one for a while.

A 61kWh battery is as far as I’m aware built using a 96s1p configuration, your screengrab shows only 42cells, I assume there is more?

26mV difference isn’t concerning especially if balancing hasn’t been done in a while. Would be interesting to see how the balancing looks at low SoC (<10%).

As for the 12V aux, I would keep it in the green (around 12V) to avoid premature degradation.

Yep not sure if the cell monitor is setup correctly for the 5, soc seems accurate, I set module sleep for 12V.

Also the WiFi and cellular shut off has been set to 1 and 3 days anyway to avoid excessive 12V drain.
