I have four Pylontech US200C but I see that whenever 89% SOC is reached while charging they always stay at that level unless charging at full 3.6kWh. The two furthest slave batteries have four solid green lights plus one flashing but the other two have five solid and the final one flashing. If the charge rate is lower than ~3.6kWh this persists indefinitely with power going to the batteries but apparently not achieving anything. How can I resolve this please?
Overnight Charging via Octopus Intelligent slots charges fully to 100% because it is drawing full power but other times the batteries stay at 89% unless I 'boost' them at 3,6kWh (I would prefer to trickle with excess solar)0 -
Mine according to the App stay charging with the display at at 88%.. and stick there for a while then jump to 100%.. a couple others have said the same3.995kWP SSW facing. Commissioned 7 July 2011. 24 degree pitch (£3.36 /W).

Yeah same here. It can take ages to go from 88% to 100% if they're only trickle charging from low amounts of surplus pv.mickyduck55 said:Mine according to the App stay charging with the display at at 88%.. and stick there for a while then jump to 100%.. a couple others have said the sameScott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go0 -
The Pylontech/Sofar setup is similar except the upper steps are 85%/88%/92%/95%/100%. The 88% & 95% are longish duration steps.mickyduck55 said:Mine according to the App stay charging with the display at at 88%.. and stick there for a while then jump to 100%.. a couple others have said the same4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North LincsInstalled June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh0 -
My uHome LFP 2400s never get to 100% at 99.4% charge stops. Still they provide the predicted discharge so I am not worried. The cutoffs are set by the BMS.15 x JASolar 405w Panels installed 25/11/22, 5 SE, 5S, 5SW

Out of interest, where do you get the ".4" from please? I'm not sure where to look for that precision (as far as I see my UHomes stop charging at 99%)propnut said:My uHome LFP 2400s never get to 100% at 99.4% charge stops.

From the uHome battery app. If your installer didn't give you access you can download the app, create your own account and register your batteries. Then you have full visibility of their health.15 x JASolar 405w Panels installed 25/11/22, 5 SE, 5S, 5SW

Ah, I have the old Aoboet app (I set it up myself and registered the batteries). I presume that means the newer app won't work but I'll give it a go at some point

Yeah, I don't think they are compatible. I tried logging to the Aoboet app using my uHome details and it didn't work. I think they are two different entities. I wouldn't be surprised if Aoboet has changed hands hence the name Uhome and the very obvious affiliation with LuxpowerTek.15 x JASolar 405w Panels installed 25/11/22, 5 SE, 5S, 5SW

Is it just me not noticing before or has a new "Start Quick Charge" feature button just started to appear on the device monitor - monitor website?
