Yeah I've never trusted that though, my primary batts are both 2017 and yet show 100% soh

You can get the SOH of each module with a serial cable and a terminal app but you need to disconnect your pylons from each other, which is a bit of a PITA. 
Were your 2017 batts 2nd hand ?

Yeah I have 3 second hand 2017's
I'll add making up a cable to "my list", so I'll get round to it in 2030 or so 🙄😳

I have a 2017 batt which is also 2nd hand.
Oddly enough, it's the two brand new 2019 batts that have dropped 1%. The 2017 batt is still showing 100%. Having said that, I got the 2nd hand one a few months after the new ones.

There's an official cable available if you can't be bothered knocking one up ......

That’s quite pricey ?

Aye it's a bit steep but the alternative is buying 2 cables (a usb serial cable and RJ10 cable) and splicing them together, which is a bit of a faff.

You should make them as an alternative supplier 😀😀😀

I'm wondering if this might work ......
