If the battery connects only to a voltage sensor (without a current sensor), the battery name, approximate state-of-charge
(SOC), and current-voltage are displayed. The calculation of SOC takes some time, so it may not be shown immediately after
power-on.
Up to three batteries without a current sensor can be shown on a single screen. If there are more, they are divided into two or
more screens.
If the battery is connected to a voltage sensor and a single current sensor (shunt), some additional data is displayed: time to
charge, time to discharge, and electrical current (amps). SOC can be calculated more accurately if a current sensor is
connected. Time to discharge is calculated by using an average consumption during a specific period.
If there are more than one current sensor (shunt) connected to the battery (e.g. for monitoring different consumers or
generators connected to the battery), their data (amps) is also shown on the battery page.
Caravan’s algorithm for calculating state-of-charge (SOC) is not a simple Ah-counter.
It is constantly monitoring battery current, voltage, and temperature. This data is compared to the internal battery model and its parameters
are constantly being adjusted so that the model fits the actual data.
The algorithm needs some time to adjust the parameters (learning phase) and it will improve accuracy during the first few cycles.
After adding a new battery or changing settings of an existing battery, the algorithm for calculating state-of-charge (SOC) needs some time to
adjust the parameters of its battery model (learning phase).
It will improve accuracy during the first few cycles.

List of tanks you have added to your VIA. By selecting a specific tank, you can view or change its settings or delete it if
necessary. By selecting “Add new”, you can add a new tank.
