I have seen various posts about deep discharging lithium batteries, and I am curious about how to and how often it should be done.
Here is my set up:
No commercial power - completely off grid.
1 X 6000XP
2 X Indoor wall mount batteries
1 X 14KW Gen
18 panels - 2 arrays 9 panels each approximately 7.3 KW solar
I am now at a point where my batteries will top off by noon and house will ride until about 5:00
In the morning, I will only be down to about 85%
As the days get longer, I am expecting that I will only drop to mid or low 90's percent and bee topped off by 9 or 10 in the morning.
This is nice as I can run on solar the remainder of the day until nighttime.
So, how do I discharge down to 20% and charge back up to 100% safely and without much interaction? ( I am not always here (yet )
Any chance I am missing some "maintenance" setting that says every X days force discharge (or I guess it would be prevent charge) down to XX%
Any suggestions on the best practices for doing this?
Also, can anyone explain why it is needed?
Thanks,
JB
