When you aren't using your Lifepo4 battery what SOC are you aiming for? (Can I set the upper limit in a 6000xp?)

[NorthShoreOahu]

I have the eg4 6000xp inverter and the 14kwh battery from eg4.

For the first time in a while I haven't need to charge my ev overnight so the battery is sitting at 100 percent.

Does everyone here keep their Lifepo4 batteries at 100%? I've been digging around in the manuals and haven't discovered any setting for upper charge limiting. I found the low end limiter and set that to 10%.

Eve cell manufacturer recommends 30 to 40% SOC for long term storage of lipo4 batteries

I charge my batteries to 100% every day (weather permitting).
And that's where I store them too.

I'm not alone.
There's no reason to store at a low SOC, unless you are shipping them commercially.
I Think I even remember Will doing a video on it.

If they’re being used and worked I dont care ….


If off or being stored I dont worry about it unless it’s hot..like a 90 to 100 ambient ,,,,,then a moderate reduced Soc ..never a low Soc.
thst was what the manufacturer suggested in their videos.

but if I didn’t , they are still Gona outlive me.

It's 81 degrees in the closet where the battery lives. 84 max today.

Discharge them 40% SOC before storing and they will be fine. No worries

At least that is what I would do.

Not an issue.

No point in having a battery, if you have to charge it when you need it.
