Drake,
Yes. Above 99 was "00", which I assumed to represent 100%. The customer
reports that as of five days running, setting CEF to 100% is working, as the
Tri-Met continues to show 100% SOC. I made no other changes that affect
calculations, but note that all inverter output goes to grid and grid serves
loads, due to a REC meter and manual transfer switch required by our
utility.

The meter I programmed would only go up to 99% battery charging efficiency.
Were you able to get yours to 100%.

Ray,
We have set up one customer as a willing guinea pig with only a change to
100% CEF. She had a system that was in essence off-grid with utility backup
when needed. Now she's completely intertied, with all loads fed directly by
the grid unless she flips a manual transfer switch. We will try several
different Tri-Metric tweak approaches on local systems and report when we
have some usable results.

We are dealing with the same issue.  The customer reported that the meter
drifted down at about 5% every other day. I am curious as to how much drift
others are seeing.
