I have been reading this forum and all the questions start at a point beyond where I am at.
I purchased a battery from Grant- Stores to go with my 13 year old solar panels. ( details on my app says 10360wh)
The installer set up the app for me and I am able to read information from it. Contrary to what the installer predicted the battery has actually reached 100% on a November day so I am very pleased so far. I was promised a manual but now the weather has deteriorated and I have EONs Next Fixed Drive tariff I would like my battery to fill up with cheap electricity without waiting for the manual.
On the app I have Force Time Charge and two blue boxes that seem to be expecting times and both have the words charge from grid disabled
Can you tell me what I have to do to charge the battery from the grid and how much charge I can expect from an overnight charge (12 -7)
Thanks VK

Hey.

Follow this video but make sure you set the mode to force charge and set the maxsoc to 100%

Thank you
I want a forced charge not a discharge surely?
Does that mean I need to go into Mode Scheduler. If so does that have to be changed all the time depending on what I want to do
Maxsoc?

Thank you. We have worked out how to do it now. We forced a charge for two hours overnight and the battery is now almost full. The rate was about 4KW

Hallo, eine ergänzende Frage zu diesem Thema:
Existiert für den H3 ein RW-Modbus-Register für die Aktivierung und Deaktivierung von "Forced Grid Charging", das über LAN gesetzt werden kann? Es geht vor allem darum, das in der App eingestellt und aktivierte Zeitfenster automatisiert über Homeassistant wieder deaktivieren zu können.
