Battery Charging / Discharging whilst on AC

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and hope that someone can explain my problem/not-problem. 

I've upgraded from an Axpert 3Kva Inverter(no CAN connection) with a single 24V Pylontech UP2500 battery to a LUXPowerTek SNA5000 with a 48v SHOTO 5.1Kwh battery with CAN connection. CAN Cable correctly made according to Luxpower Manual.

On my old system I used Whatchpower 1.4 with a USB to Serial connection to the RS232 port. It showed me charging to 100% and it stayed 100 until load-shedding after which it discharge to about 92% with my usage and re-charge to 100% when AC is restored. All good and normal.

My NEW system has WiFi connection to LuxpowerView (online website and Android APP). This shows my battery charging to 100% and then discharging approximately +-45Watt constantly. It then shows 97% battery until load-shedding where it discharges further till 84%. After AC is restored it re-charges back to 100% and starts the discharging again.

Is this normal?
