I have 24x Sonnenschein Energystore 2RPG1410 Gel cells which are charged via 2x Schneider 80 - 600 controllers and/or a Schneider XW+8548 Inverter.
The battery suppliers state that the cells should be equalized whereas Schneider say that Gel batteries should not be! I am the man in the middle!!
Any of our forum members with Gel cells?
As I have recently seen 2 high "mid point V dev%"  alarms recently on my Victron BMV702 I am a little concerned. The installation is only 4 yrs old and has been trouble free up till now. I log individual cell voltages regularly (se att) and no one cell is ever high or low. 
Another possibility is to use a battery balancer (say an HA02)on the highest and lowest average cells.
Any thoughts???
Thanks.

Hi Chris....thanks for the reply. I did change the tail current seeting to 2.8% and yes, it made the SOC reading more accurate. In the overall scheme of things it doesn't really change the performance of the system. It just makes the SOC reading on the 702 a little more in line with the SOC shown on the XW8548.
Cheers for now. Take care & all the best for 2019.
