Battery planning profiles

Managed profiles are fixed. Custom is household-configured. Permissions such as grid charging, stored-battery export and backup reserve override every profile.
Planning mode choices Balanced, Preserve Battery, Maximum Profit and Custom, with household permissions.

Managed profiles are fixed. Custom is household-configured. Permissions such as grid charging, stored-battery export and backup reserve override every profile.

  • Balanced weighs bill outcome, using your solar and keeping a sensible reserve.
  • Preserve Battery favours lower battery activity and stronger reserve protection.
  • Maximum Profit gives more weight to economic opportunities within your limits. The name is not a guarantee of profit.
  • Custom starts from Balanced and lets you change supported planning preferences.

A profile cannot grant grid-charging or export permission you have turned off, and it cannot override equipment limits. Grid charging, stored-battery export and backup-reserve protection are separate permissions.

Custom and hardware limits

Custom starts from Balanced. These fields are household preferences, not recommended public defaults. Reset to Balanced if you want the managed starting point back.

EV charging profiles

When a supported EV path is enabled, use Fastest, Solar Preferred or Lowest Cost. Fastest aims to finish as soon as it is safe. Solar Preferred uses forecast surplus solar and is best effort. Lowest Cost looks for lower-cost windows while still aiming at the ready-by goal. If older names such as Battery health or Balanced still appear, prefer the three profiles above. A late connection or limited charger power can make a target impossible.
