I am using these 3S (12V) batteries with LED meter. Normally, the LED meter shows SOC (State of Charge). But when the SOH (State of Health) is low, the BMS cut off prematurely as low as 11V. I can still by-pass the BMS and charge it to 12V. I am wondering if it is doing that to alert the user to replace the unit. Basically using a single meter for both SOC and SOH, just to save a few LEDs. ...
