Hi, I have a 5kw Gen 1 hybrid inverter & 8.2kw gen1 battery. Recently had to restart the battery & inverter due to battery & BMS overvoltage faults. That seems to have gone ok (I suspect the system got too hot - installed outside south facing in a ventilated cabinet), but while browsing the remote controls on the web portal noticed the "Enable DC Discharge" is set to off.
So my question is, what does this setting actually do?
Thanks in advance for all responses!

chrisppokit its not named well i feel.
Its one off the registers that needs to be on to allow discharging your battery to the grid (say for Agile export periods)

Switching it on, then disabling "eco mode" register AND then setting your discharge time windows accordingly will force the battery to empty to grid (and cover whatever house load you currently have)

This is a bit of a pain hence why you now have the quick menu in the app that does all that for you.
