Just built a new 16kWh battery
315Ah cells from Fogstar £720
XR07 case £196
JK PB BMS £84

Battery cells are getting so cheap. CATL are about to launch their Sodium Ion cells and they should come in significantly cheaper than existing LFP cells.
Yeah, sounds like a good plan. I’m just trying to get my head around the terminology tbh in the Mode Scheduler.The easiest way to do this is to charge to 100% overnight and then program the battery to discharge in the evening to 5% by what ever time your cheap period starts.
Yes, enable is enabled. Just poor translation.![]()

I think that's correct as per Reef's suggestion. The only thing that is odd is that the Mode Scheduler shows "Enable", rather than "Disable" after I've set everything in the Mode Scheduler and hit Submit - hence the Operation Successful message.
Looks like "enable" might be a translation issue, as it should show Enable(d) - read a thread from last year on the FoxESS forums from a user with the same issue.
Out of interest is the Mode Scheduler only available via the App, or can it be done via FoxCloud/Web?
All seems to be working well on the Mode Scheduler with just one oddity.
Current load - 0.13kW
PV generating - 7.70kW
Grid exporting - 7.04kW
Battery charging - 0w (52%)
Feed-in Priority is: load>grid>battery
In the case of the external generator, the power generated will be used to supply the local loads firstly, then export to the public grid. The redundant power will charge the battery.
Shouldn't any generation above my 5kW export + house load go into the battery as it seems that it's going all to the grid, rather than being limited and or going into charging my battery?
Min SOC - 10%What is the SOC target for the battery at that time ?
If your G100 export limit is set correctly then you shouldn't be able to export at a higher rate than that. If it was 5kW then it would max that out and send the rest to the battery.All seems to be working well on the Mode Scheduler with just one oddity.

You can see the export limit that is set (and possibly change it) in the v2 version of the Fox Cloud:I looked at the smart meter and that was showing as 5kWh as the limit which I presume is set by Octopus.
I've sent an email to FPS to ask if they have indeed set the correct limit as the FoxESS app is showing all the excess generation above the 5kWh going to grid, rather than battery.
