All batteries have a max discharge current, the only question being what their max is. Most residential lithium batteries are either 0.5C or 1C, with some rated at 1.5C.

Most are 0.5C (continuous), some are 1C and better (like Hubble AM-2, BSL Batt, Greenrich and some Freedom Won models).
It depends on how the manufacturer has tweaked the BMS, and what warranty objectives they have. Higher discharge and charge rates generally lead to faster degradation (less usable cycles), so many are very cautious.

So from not working last night, now this morning I just got a disconnect notification for my house and folks house next door at the start of loadshedding 9am.
Will see if I get the reconnect message in 3hrs time.

Ahh yeah just took the Dyness as they offered the 10 year extended warranty with the Deye inverter. Might get an additional battery when I move and upgrade to incorporate solar in the next year
Never received reconnect notifications... Will see what happens from midnight to 3am tomorrow.
Looks like the web interface isn't showing the months correctly on Region 2, when selecting Year. Works in the app.
They also didn't bring the days detail of the history over. Checking the graph of a specific day only works for December.

Mine is showing as it should from what I can see, except for my historic data from when I was on Region 1, so I have zero data from December last year to some time in July this year.
I'm fully region 2 with all history data back now. However, as I took screenshots of my region 1 stats at the moment my inverter was moved across, I can see that I lost about a day of production values which probably coincided with the actual move to region 2 day. Could be worse....
Oh, and still not getting grid REconnects - only disconnect notifications.

I have been on Region 2 since my stuff was installed in May this year and have never gotten reconnect notifications, only disconnects so don't hold your breath

I'm thinking of getting another battery for my sunsynk invert, current hubble 5.5kw has been doing well, the majority of the time reaching 60% on 'heavy' use days (normal days see it drop to 78% per loadshedding). But I was wondering, is it a kak Idea to buy another battery (same model) and connect it up to double the available battery storage, or is there a limitation I will experience or see with the new battery

Definitely not a bad idea, just need to lookout for battery bms versions etc. You may need to update the older one to make it current.

How do you have your work modes set up? Are you still using grid?
If you're only reaching 60% then getting another battery would be a waste of time unless you're currently only using it for backup during outages and want to move to a more "off-grid" setting.
The Ponytail is failing me again...
After the monumental, long awaited and much delayed move to Region 2... I now have some historic data back.
BUT, at first glance I see 2 and 3 Dec all data missing... ?
Anyone else?

Finally decided to spend the money on the cable and get my batteries connected up to SolarAssistant. Happy to see everything looks to be exactly what I'd expect (the third battery was added months later than the first two).
Super happy that the battery cycles are identical on the first two, the BMS doing its job. It also seems to be, at first glance, prioritising the new battery slightly as it has less cycles - curious to see if this is the case.

What batteries are those as I know with pylontech I had to connect the newest one as battery 1.

It's the Sunsynk 5.32kWh ones: https://www.sunsynk.org/532kwh-battery

I'm curious what other people's battery cycle/day ratios are like.
My cycles sitting at 144 on the oldest batteries and had them installed for 278 days, so that's around 0.5 cycles per day which I don't think is that bad. I'm discharging to around 30% every day now but this is only for around the past 3 or so months so I expect I'll see slightly higher cycles per day going forward.
