Force discharge restart ?
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2025 7:04 pm
All has been going well for several months since the breaker was removed to my battery (last post).
In these sunny times, I noticed that theres a lot of sunshine still available after the discharge period has expired - or the battery has hit its FD minimum.
Tonight, the battery discharged back to the grid and reached its FD minimum of 29% by about 6pm, and stopped discharging. But the panels are still producing a lot of power (capped at 5kWh by the inverter).
Rather than sending this power to the grid, the system appears to send it to the battery first, even though the FD period is still active.
Is there a way to 'restart the FD' as the FD minimum may have ben reached by the batter has gone back to charging, and as I type this its up to 63% - so 34% of the capacity should have been dumped.
