question

@Riaad Abdulla

When Pylontec are new they need a few days at full charge to settle in and get their balance right

I have seen this behaviour (referring to the soc not being 90 when 90 is set) on lithiums whose cells are not balancing internally.

Ess code or reason states also there ess#1 and #2

The key for these codes is:

#1: SOC is low

#2: BatteryLife is active

#3: BMS disabled charging

#4: BMS disabled discharge

#5: Slow Charge in progress (part of BatteryLife, see above)

#6: User configured a charge limit of zero.

#7: User configured a discharge limit of zero.

Thanks @Alexandra - I have had my Pylontech batteries and Multiplus II since 2020. I have just recently installed solar panels (last week).

So if I get those error codes like #2 BatteryLife is active... is it really an error since you suggested that I can use it with BatteryLife or without. I do not see any errors currently and my plan is the following:

- I have set mode to Optimized without BatteryLife

- I have SOC minimum to 85%

- I will write a Cron job to change "Limit Inverter Power" from 3000w to 0w at 16:00 every day (this will allow me to charge the batteries for the next morning using solar)

- I will write a Cron job to change "Limit Inverter Power" from 3000w to 0w at 06:00 every day

(this will allow me to use some battery power in the morning to power loads until solar is more available from 08:00)

Please let me know your thoughts? Am I on the right track? I am trying to limit the constant charging and then discharging of the batteries at night.
