@Will Prowse (and others)
I am almost ready to power up my new off-grid system. I have 4 of the EG4 LifePower4 48v 100AH, 5.12 kWh batteries in the rack. And I have a couple of questions before I start her up.

- Will seems to follow the procedure with the inverter off, and then turns the inverter on after the precharge. Did I get this right?
- One of the reasons I put in this off-grid system is to have backup power in case of an outage, which happens often here. Given that, I would like to set the inverter to only allow the batteries to discharge as much as necessary before charging. The default for LiFEPo4 on the Growatt SPF 6000T DVM-MPV inverter seems to be discharge to 40% and then charge to 80%. Can I discharge and charge to a higher level without adversely affecting the health and longevity of the battery? If so, how high is recommended?
