Thanks Calum, that's great.

Have a great weekend!

Quick simple question hopefully!

I have a setting to force charge my batteries but am I able to force discharge my batteries (ie export back to the grid from the batteries).

Thanks in advance.

I'm an Octopus customer and have entered my API key and it seems to have linked my info - again, what this actually does at this point remains to be seen. The 'To Bind a Device' section needs to be completed in order for me to save and exit the page - can someone help me with what this info is and ...

Hi Ched,

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply - much appreciated.

I will give Flux a few months before making any decisions/ doing the maths.

Thanks again.

Good morning all, I am considering getting an immersion heater controller (something like the Solar iBoost) but I'm reading conflicting views about the effectiveness of them. I am just about to move onto Octopus Flux and really trying to squeeze the maximum benefit out of my PV system - we only use ...

In backup, the inverter prioritises charging the battery over supplying the house. We're not sure what the others are, but they don't seem to be supported currently. I'm also on flux, and I'm experimenting with putting the inverter into Feed-in first over the 4-7 peak period, although I'll probably ...

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated.

I've also emailed Fox to ask for an explanation but nothing heard back yet.

Good morning all, I have just moved to Octopus Flux and would like some advice on the optimal inverter mode to take advantage of the low 0200hrs-0500hrs rate (battery charging time) and high export rate between 1600hrs and 1900hrs. I have read the manual for my H1-3.7-E but the descriptions are ...

Thanks so much for the replies everyone, very much appreciated!

Hi all, new user/ poster here. I've been told that I can safely move the SOC minimum down to 10%, below that risks damaging the batteries. Could someone explain the danger of going below 10% and whether anyone would recommend going down from 20% (my current setting) to 15% now (is it the length of ...

Hi Callum, thanks for the replies and sorry for the delay in coming back to you. I emailed Fox Support and was told that my battery firmware was updated remotely, also BMU and BCU (I have no idea with these acronyms mean). The batteries charged fully today to 100%, I will wait for them to discharge ...

What was the SoC of the battery when you started charging it today? Worth noting that 80% of 7.5 is 6, assuming your minimum SoC is still set to 20%... Given that all the battery modules won't have been balanced on install, the BMS would most likely reduce its assessment of how much charge can go ...

So have had a read of the H1-3.7-E user manual. To get to reduce max charge current it's MENU> SETTING> BATTERY> MAX CHG CUR, think this is correct? According to the manual, max current is 40A, doesn't give a minimum so I assume there will be a figure I can't go below in the settings? Do you happen ...

I think you have to insert the screenshot into the post for me to see it! Balancing the batteries basically boils down to discharging the pack down as low as you can, leaving it there for a couple of hours, and then charging it all the way back to full, slowly, and leaving it there for a couple of ...

Hi Calum, thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. I'll try running the SOC down to 10% (my minimums are set to 20% at the moment, the installer said anything below 20% was not great for the batteries until the hours of sunshine significantly increase) and then monitoring how much ...

Hi all, I've just had an additional HV25 installed, giving a total of 3 batteries and 7.35kw theoretical maximum capacity. I'm looking at my system on the web and I can't seem to find and easy to understand figure for my new capacity or number of batteries installed. I just want to make sure the BMS ...

It's fixed or at least getting better! I trawled many places and found lots of people were doing force charge between empty and full with no joy but it was Will from this forum who said need to do full-empty-full. I was missing the last force charge. I did that overnight and now at 6.2kwh. More ...
