Hi @Alan3737

Do you mine sharing your settings. Others on the forum might be able to narrow down your issue then.

I assume you're charging up over night using ESS scheduled charging. First place to check is if you've set the SoC to 95% in there. (Settings -> ESS -> Scheduled charge levels).


If you have the next thing i'd check is voltage/SoC calibration. It may be that your battery is reaching absorption voltage at 80%. If that's the case then either absorption voltage is set too low or the SoC is not correctly calibrated/not correct..

What is monitoring SoC within your system, is it coming from the battery BMS or do you have a smart shunt or equivalent monitor?
