Hi all,

Keen to save battery today and use between 5-6pm for energy saving session.

What's the quickest way to tell my system to stop using my battery without reconfiguring too much and then having to reconfigure back tonight?

Thanks!

Or, just charge it up from 1-4pm this afternoon and hopefully make a bit of money from moving your usage from the evening peak to that time slot.

(Assuming you've signed up for saving sessions or similar from your energy supplier or from one of the apps like Hugo etc).

I have a charge set 1300-1659. It will finish charging around 1600, hold till 16:59 and power the house for the saving session and a few hours after

Perfect thank you all! Stupid question, where is this in the settings? Is it under the inverter settings?

My understanding is the timing setting currently doesn't work, at least that's what i have been told by GE. And the workaround GE told me is to set the discharge power to 0, then during the time you want to use the battery go back in and set it back to your default.

Andygoody Not sure what they mean by that, the "timed charge" setting works for me perfectly, every time I set it.

alphabeta77 If ever I need to stop discharging for a period I set the discharge power to 0. Set it beack to maximum when I need it back again. Timed discharge period is not reliable.
