Can someone clarify something for me - what is supposed to be the max battery charge power on gen1 GIV-HY5.0?
On GE dashboard in the inverter settings I have mine set to the max 2600W. But whenever I charge my battery from the grid the max I get is 2422W? And the sticker on my inverter states 2500W
Which one is it then? And why is my battery only charging at 2422W?

97.5% efficiency?

Just to add to that battery discharge is peaking at 2600W which is what it is set in the GE portal.

alfwro ac/dc conversion losses? Maybe takes in the full whack but the conversion loses some into the battery?

Conversion losses for AC - DC are approx. 7% so for AC charging you would typically see around 2400W (2600W - 7%).
Conversion losses for DC - DC (solar charging) are lower so you will see higher charge rates in this scenario.
