Battery Management

GivLocal gives you direct control over your battery’s charge and discharge behaviour.

Quick actions

From the Dashboard, three buttons let you override the current mode immediately:

• Charge Now - charges the battery as fast as possible (up to the configured charge power limit)
• Discharge Now - discharges the battery to home (up to the configured discharge power limit)
• Pause - holds the battery at its current state of charge

Caution

Quick actions override active schedules until the next scheduled event or until you cancel them manually.

Battery card

The battery card on the Dashboard shows:

• Current state of charge (%)
• Active mode (Charging, Discharging, Idle, Paused)
• Current power in kW
• Estimated time to full or empty
• Total and usable capacity in kWh

Battery reserve

The battery reserve sets the minimum SOC the inverter will discharge to. Configure it in Inverter → Battery Control. This prevents the battery from being completely drained by discharge schedules or quick actions.

Eco Mode

When Eco Mode is enabled, the inverter automatically manages charging and discharging based on your tariff and usage patterns. Configure it in Inverter → Battery Control.

Max power for quick actions

By default, Charge Now and Discharge Now use your configured power limits. You can optionally allow quick actions to temporarily override these limits and use the maximum hardware-supported power rate. Enable this in Settings → Connection → Use Max Power for Quick Charge / Use Max Power for Quick Discharge.
