    Just set this up.. 4 hours charging on "Go" from 00:31 - 04:29... The AC charge level was set at 95%.. I have changed it to 100% is there any problem with that?  Also set charge rate to 80% reduced from 100%... comment on another thread re "It being a little kinder to the batteries"  My theory is that this setting could put 11.2 kW into the battery as the max charge rate is set at 3.6 kW.. am I right ? (Battery is 10.5 kW).  TIA
    Looks fine Mick, as long as your getting enough charge at 80%.

    As far as I know, ours is on the latest firmware and running fine. Not much difference from the previous version.
    Some versions do seem to have a bug which causes some import, usually around 50 watts, but the latest firmware is ok.

    80% is 2.88 kW max ... for 4 hours =11.52 kW
    batteries will only take 9.5 ish.... so should be fine

    That may have been me.
    I have actually set mine to 70%

    I have set my max charge to 98% purely because they never get to 100% on my system.

    This has been fine to charge my 4x 2.4kwh pylontech each night

    Mine usually only reach 99% when grid charging and only occasionally get to 100%.
    Strangely though, they get to 100% no problem when charging from pv.
    No idea why that would be !!??
