“Hold Charge” charged to 100%

I have hold charge set, however last night during the first IOG slot the battery discharged to the car, and in subsequent slots the battery charged to 100%.
Am I doing something wrong?

ChrisR We set the discharge rate to 0 successfully. See logs:

Now, on some Giv inverters this will still leak some background wattage, this has been discussed quite a few times on here.

ChrisR

It’s not just leakage, it charged at full whack up to 100%.

ChrisR Strange, as you can see from our log we set discharge rate to 0. You should be able to see that from your Giv inverter logs too?

ChrisR

admin Yep, I can see that in the logs, but it still commenced charging at 23.30!

admin

ChrisR What if you click the Remote Control cog and scroll to the bottom to check the individual instructions around and before that time please?

ChrisR

admin Is this it?

admin

ChrisR Thanks for that, yeah, so as you can see from your Giv inverter logs:

We set the discharge power to 0 at 23:32, and back to 3000W at 5:58, effectively being on hold for all that time.

If you battery still discharged into your car, this looks like a GivEnergy issue I'm afraid. Have you got the chart/graph to go with this please?

admin No, it wasn’t that the battery discharged to the car, it was that the battery charged to 100% when it should have been on hold.
