Technical FAQs 4

What happens when a battery is discharged?

In the allowed discharge period,both the battery and PV will supply power to the load, with PV being prioritized. Once the battery discharges to the value set in **<Min SOC>**, the inverter will enter idle mode. Please note

What is the charge and discharge limit of my inverter?

Please refer to the manual for the charge and discharge limit of your inverter. When selecting the charge and discharge current limits you will always be limited to the lowest current value whether that is the inverter or the batteries. For example, the 3.6kW Ecco inverter has a 90A maximum charge/discharge current.

Why do Inverter Batteries weaken?

An inverter battery weakens due to deep discharges below recommended levels, overcharging, high operating temperatures, poor maintenance (especially for lead-acid batteries), and incorrect installation. Regular maintenance, proper charging, and avoiding extreme conditions help prolong battery life.

What is an inverter battery?

An inverter battery is a specially designed energy storage solution that powers an inverter during electricity outages. Unlike automotive or starter batteries—which provide short bursts of high current to start engines—inverter batteries are built for deep-cycle performance, meaning they release a steady amount of energy over a longer duration.
