Thanks Larry. Yes, I have programmed my Orion Jr so that my cell max and min voltages are below the 100% SOC and above the 5% DOD points on my specific charge curve. So like Battleborn and other drop in replacement batter manufacturers when my meters indicate 100% I actual have a safety margin built in. In addition per the manufacturer's recommendation I have redundant means of performing the role of charging and discharging functions. The BMS software controls when the battery can discharge via a MOSFET relay however the Magnum LBCO provides a backup means. My Midnite Solar controller has the whizbang Jr shunt so I have set an appropriate ending amps within the advanced charge parameters. In addition the BMS via another MOSFET relay also can remove the charging source. In my case these redundant means are programmed within no more than a tenth or two amps apart. So far I am really pleased with the Midnite Solar Classic charge controller.
