In LFP, temperature influences voltage more than SOC in the region of
20% to 80% SOC. The voltage changes just a tiny amount between 20% and
80% SOC.
Basically, if the voltage changes it is more likely to be due to a
change in temperature, than a change in SOC.
Indeed, you could measure the temperature of each cell, along with the
voltage, to tease out the SOC, but you need the average internal
temperature of the cell, rather than the external temperature of the
cell, and you need a very accurate measure of voltage. It is way simpler
and cheaper to count amps.

Sure you can. Voltage is the only way to discern SOC.
You just can't measure accurately under load. You have to measure open circuit
voltage.

Hi Guys,
My 1238-6501 Curtis controller gives very different SOC % for similar
voltages.
For example I've recorded a pack voltage of 82.2 and had the Curtis show
22%, 31%, 43%.
The pack is made up of 25 Thundersky 160Ah batteries.
With LFP cells, you can't accurately infer SOC from voltages in the
middle of the range. The voltage/SOC curve is too flat.
