Let them finish. What is mA termination set to? Should be 15mA ideally according to spec, but if you change it you need to do all again. If its set higher thats ok too, but will result in a faster end. If doing loads I often set it higher and may have done for expresso. Set a 4 hour limit for CV timeout.

Soft start is an error that means the power supply often a generator cant keep the voltage stable as the charger ramps up power. That may be power supply related. Are you using good, soldered connections everywhere? And proper safe banana connections to the charger, not those cheap ebay connectors?

Hi Steve, have you used your eFuel PSU much? Have you had any problems with it?
