Hi, recently installed these…

They are charging at night for 7.5p per kWh then discharging through the day.
Not yet connected to any PV panels but that’s coming next.
Only problem so far is the degraded charging rate due to low temperature, I only have the Octopus 4 hour window to charge them back up! However, as long as it’s not too cold my average unit price for electricity is about 11p.

I'd imagine you could get some 9mm OSB and sheet EPS and make an insulated box for those to solve your charging problem. I did similar for my HV2600s and it made a big difference.
