The charging and discharging of the Maslow battery is controlled by a timed plan set on the unit remotely by Moixa. The plan is chosen to reflect the optimal operation of the unit according to the type of installation and is set when the unit is commissioned. For example, where there are solar panels installed the unit is typically set to charge between 10am and 3:30pm when the panels are expected to be producing power.
The only exception to this is on a Monday morning when the unit automatically charges the battery, starting at midnight, to its maximum capacity. This is done both to calibrate the battery and to maximise its life. Once this calibration charge is complete the unit returns to following the plan.
