Yes having problem with % of battery charge, when first received battery was at 12.9v once hooked up to charge controller said 12.9v but only 83% charged.. The battery has been charging daily for 3+ weeks with no load, as soon as the charge controller starts charging in no time, about 15 to 20min, it says 100% charged then the controller goes to boost, then after the hour goes to float.. As soon as the sun goes down the battery % drops back to 83% by the next morning.. What is this and why does it happen, is the battery not getting charged fully or is there a way to calibrate the charge controller battery charge % to read full 100% charge instead of 83% ?

The % displayed is a poor way to measure
Since it takes 14.4v held for several hrs to fully charge your battery and then at rest it may measure 12.8v, both of these may represent 100% but the charger is dumb so ignore the %.

I sure am glad people are finally figuring out the % is useless.... It shouldn't even be there....
