I have set my battery up to charge during the 12.00pm to 5.00am windows. It is working successfully. Is it possible to also do a charge cycle at a different time of day.

Logie on some versions, you can access multiple charge slots via the remote-control (gears icon) on the web portal .

Logie Knowing what you have installed, and who your energy supplier is, may get you more help

I too would like to have two charge cycles per day so that the battery is topped up pror to the evening tariff on Flux. It's a pain having to change the overninght charge to afternoon and then back again at this time of the year.

Any chance GiveEnergy of the App being modified to do this for a gen 2 inverter and GivBat 5.2?

peterbaldwin have you checked the remote-control section (gears icon) on the inverter area of the web portal? That might offer multiple charge times. The app doesn't (yet?)

Logie there have been multiple discussions on this topic, suggest you do a quick search for the best solution for your individual needs.

If you have a Gen 3 inverter then you can definitely do it via the web portal as that is what I do with mine on Flux.

With Gen 2 Hybrid Inverter there is only one charge event, but for some reason two discharge events.

Have a look at WonderWatt [https://www.wonderwatt.com/](https://) they are promising multi slot capability before too long... sign up and add to the interest, it may help hurry them along!
I find it very useful for managing my batteries' charge cycle today and can certainly see some benefits in their multi-slot outlook.

peterbaldwin @Logie We do now support multiple charge slots, these work for Gen 1 & Gen 2 inverters.

Feel free to give it a whirl.

Wonder Watt Does this work with AC Coupled Inverters?

ChrisRowe It does indeed, we have GIV-AC3.0 owners using the service no problem.
