EVCS: Stop charging when drawing battery current is too high

Hi all,

Using the EVCS in an off-grid setup. I was expecting the 'auto' mode to stop when the solar drops OR when other loads turn on & the drawing battery current is too high. However I notice that the car keeps charging and my battery is being discharged at more than 100A. (Which I don't want.) If I manually disable the charge and enable "auto" again it correctly says "waiting for sun".


Is this expected behaviour or am I missing a setting?

Thanks

Setting/general.
Disable it or reduce the time.

Got it. Thanks. Any future plans on a "max battery discharge" setting?


I'll disable it because I don't want to exceed the -100A limit but I assume now it will constantly start/stop while discharging till (for example) -50A would be OK for a specified timeout.

It's a bit complicated, but yes, we have some plans. It will work only when Automatic mode will be controlled from the GX device.
