Can I have Eco & Timed Charge both enabled? A bit of a debate on Facebook group!

100% yes.

But the Battery still won’t discharge during the timed period, even though it’s reached the required percentage?

Take a look at this thread:

For an explanation of how it works.

ChrisRowe Not sure why you would want the battery to discharge below your set percentage during a timed charge period. ??

During the timed charge period, the house runs from the grid and the battery is charged to your target level and kept there.

Addendum - I’ve just read the thread @Woodlands linked above and realised what I said is only true if the battery is below your target charge level at the start of the timed charge period (something I have yet to experience).

If it’s above the target level, the battery will continue to supply the house until you get down to the target %, and THEN the house will be supplied from the grid while the battery level is held for the remainder of the charge period.
