Thinking more about the difference between voltage and SOC charging limits, I can think of some cases where sticking with SOC charging would be slightly preferred. Like in the summer I might want to charge up to 80% SOC 6 days a week, and go up to 101% one day a week to make sure the battery got completely full. The 80% charge is just to leave some extra room for afternoon sun to top off the battery instead of going back into the grid. Charging by voltage is great if I want to go completely full but not so great for hitting an intermediate voltage.

So having the weekly set able to use 101% SOC to fill the battery up completely once a week might be the best solution for me.

I also tried this on a system that was updated to the more recent firmware, and it let me set it to 101%.

@david271 I'm glad to see quite a bit of discussion on this...charging to 101% once per week. It's a feature I was wanting and it looks like a pretty popular idea. Everything I have read about batteries with a BMS says this is a good technique. I started paying more attention when my new cell phone had this charging scheme as the default charging option to keep the battery healthy.

@eg4eric Oh, does the 101% work in Weekly Set now as well as in Stop AC Charge SOC? That would be great. Is this in the 2525 firmware, or something more recent that we don't have yet?

@david271 It's a feature we would like that isn't there yet.
