Battery settings, grid always charging battery

Featured Replies

Hi, I think I've messed up my settings.

What should my battery settings be to use battery and only charge battery from grid when it is absolutely necessary

I see my battery is always at 63%

Various settings to change. You cannot have shutdown at 80% and restart also at 80%. In any case J feel that is far too high. 

Also look at your hse timer and the time ranges in the timer and if grid used is unticked for day time periods.

Thank you very much!

I have updated our settings and also updated our battery settings as per the label on the battery.

 

We currently have loadshedding so the below now makes sense 

 

I tested with no major appliances on, and now turned on dishwasher only

 

One questions pls, on this screen shot, battery also shows 63%, this this correct?

Now that loadshedding is over, this is our screen, is this correct that grid is flowing in at over 2000? Geyser is connected to grid and not solar, and I used about 2 buckets of hot water. Loadshedding was 2 hours

Yes the battery 63% is the current SOC. Drawing 2kw from the grid is the difference between the PV yield and the 3.5kw load you have switched on. 

Battery is not charging as all PV is used for load 1st.
