My battery is at 50% and is set to kick on and charge at 17:00 for 30 mins which will add about 25% ready to dump 50% back to the grid for an hour.

The heat pump will go off at 18:00 for an hour and I’ll ride out the rest of the day on grid.

I guess the only problem with topping up in the 16:00-19:00 is ruining the baseline for future sessions.

Edit- Actually ignore that, I'm thinking of the other sessions :cry:

I'd like to see people not bother with it over the next 2 or 3 sessions, make them see it will not work unless they pay a decent return.

15 mins to go I was ready. Got side tracked, just remembered. Been charging my car for nearly 40 mins of the session. FML

The saving session calculator site is still up, but currently it shows results for last winter, not sure if it needs updating or its to early for this years results - seemed to remember it would calculate the baseline prior to the meter readings being available.

My batteries down to 21.7%, will I get through to 2am before hitting 10%? I think so, but the batteries are not going to get a full charge in the three hour cheap rate period, so it is going to have a knock on effect tomorrow with the current poor weather.
