Currently lowest SoC is 40% , but yesterday total went down to 26% as there was a street outage for about 9 hours. I was running them 18-100 when I had one battery. 1st one installed in July 22 and the other in April 23

The new one is working reallly hard. As per pic, even when overall SoC was 26% , battery 1 never even reached it, battery 2 drained faster.

Don't know who to actually talk too to understand this behaviour. Wonder if Hubble techs will talk to guys on the street. View attachment 1547981

I noticed on my FW setup, sometimes one battery is a lower SOC than the other. Might just be down to BMS handling the demand at the time.

Can someone remind me how to stop non-essentials being powered from battery while I have grid? Seems whatever I've set it's always powering from battery if SOC is above the threshold in work mode 1

You need to check - limit to load
 
Last night I had an interesting issue during loadshedding.
I have a Deye 5KW and a single Hubble battery.
The system generated a DC Low Fault (Error code 56) while the battery was only at 56 percent, and the inverter turned off supply to the load.
The battery itself showed that it still had capacity (4 LEDs out of 6).
But no amount of cycling the battery on and off, or the inverter itself would resolve the issue and I was stuck with no power until the end of loadshedding.

Nothing about my load at the time was significantly high (or different) to normal.

Any clues on what happened so I can avoid it happening again?

Probably Hubble doing Hubble things. Ask @W@P and @semaphore...

For the people with Hubble AM2 batteries. How far do you discharge it?

With loadshedding mostly in check, I currently have mine set up to 80%. If it's sunny, the batteries charge to 100%, stay there until 16:00 and slowly start discharging to about midnight then switch over to Eskom until the next morning at 08:00.

I know these batteries isn't that great, and dropping below 50% apparently counts as 2 cycles. If you have these, how do you manage yours?

I like our Hubbles - they've been perfect up to date. The Riot is a lemon of a white elephant except for being able to update if necessary (and I did that manually so ‍:cautious:).
Our two are set to 75% regardless of loadshedding as per Leadership's requirements.
If it was my choice I'd run them down to 25% because I believe if you buy it you use it.

Hmm yeah, not sure what happened there. Hopefully, it was just a once-off glitch in the matrix. Otherwise, you might be in for an update. Or worst case you have faulty cells like I did.

What does the greenie in you say Grieta?
No, I had mine set to go down to 60% SOC with the latest bout of LS. Now that it has relaxed a bit I set them to go down to 40% SOC.

maybe you can meet in the middle - 50% is still quite a lot and is a nice balance of use and safety

AM-2s discharge to 0% no problems, but I set my 3 to stop at 20% and have never reached it, lowest ever was 25%.

Do you have battery comms? What did the LiBMS screen say?
What is the inverter seeing ito voltage vs what the battery's BMS is reporting?

That will disable powering non-essentials altogether even during the day. There's no way to do it, which is why I just moved everything to essentials and used timers on the geysers...

This really needs to be added to the time of use settings. Another tick box for "limit to load".
Unless I'm missing why it isn't...
