iOS App, where do you view battery capacity? Newbie question!

Dad · Mon Nov 27, 2023 7:30 pm

System has just been commissioned today. If I look at the app I can see the batteries are at 38% capacity in the picture of a house screen. Is there anywhere that displays the full capacity in KWh? I have five HV25s so I was expecting to find a screen that says approx 12Kwh usable storage capacity of which you have 38% remaining. Is that possible?

Thank you.

No in the Foxess app there isn't a screen that shows you usable capacity just the SoC and you have to do the calculation yourself.

The better app to use is Energy Stats by Al Priest, it does the maths for you (and a lot, lot more).

Downloaded.. thank you.

Trying to find a way to view daily energy from solar but can see looking through this forum that it’s another set of calculations! On Energy Stats can I just subtract discharge energy from output energy?

If you click on the 'Stats' item it will show the various Output, Feed-in, Grid consumption and towards the bottom an Approximations box which has an approximate of the Solare generated today (based on the [charge - discharge - grid import + home load + export] formula)

Thank you Dave.

That now estimates just 0.300 KWh. Earlier today that box had 0.600KWh in it when the solar was working mid afternoon. Strange that it’s decreased!

Might take a few days to get to grips with this!
