What is the recommended minimum battery percentage?
Hello, I have the Sunsynk 3.6 Inverter with one SUN-BATT-5.12/BYD battery. Currently, the SOC is set at 20%, The Low Battery setting is also at 20% and the Shutdown in the Battery settings is at 15%. I feel that always keeping 20% in the battery and never using it is a bit of a waste and I wanted to lower that.
Before doing so, I would like to ask if there is a minimum recommended value to always keep in the battery and what that value would be.
I saw a few posts in this forum mentioning that they have lowered their to 15% and even 10%(I think), but was wondering if there is an official recommendation and why? Thanks! Kalin

System Mode/Work Mode 1 = 20% Shutdown = 5% Low Bat = 7% Restart = 8% This gives me a minimum of 15% safety if there is a power failure.
EDIT: I changed Restart to 10% as it was too close to Low Bat.
Low Bat is where the essential load is cut off.
Most days, I end up with 40-55% SoC, not hitting 20% very often.
