Technical Support

Hi Everyone,

Question 1:

I am currently using the Sunsynk inverter system only in UPS mode to cover me for load-shedding so the batteries are usually 100% during the day and if I load shedding it will discharge and charge again to 100%. I want to use the system mode timers and grid peak shaving to save on electricity during the day, at the moment I don't have solar panels I am planning to install them once funds are available. For example, from 9 a.m. - to 5 PM I am going to set the SOC timer to 50% to cover my essential load once 50% is left of the battery I will be only using the grid, also when enabling grid peak shaving it will blend the power between grid and battery but mostly prioritize the load to the battery side. From 5 PM to 9 AM I will set the soc to 100%. Now I want to know if I do that will I mess up my battery's life span like in cycles? I am currently using a Magneto 5.12Kwh battery. Example of settings I want to use:

System timer:

Grid peak shaving

System mode 2

Question 2

The Magneto battery shows me how many full cycles I have completed, at the moment I have completed 7 full cycles so far and the battery has only been once depleted to 0%, I feel like I should have used fewer full cycles since it has been only depleted once. I mostly just use the battery for load-shedding and my understanding is a full cycle is usually from 100% to 0 %. I think it counts as 1 full cycle for two days if it charges 100%
