Battery is constantly toggling between charging/discharging when at minimum soc

[madhubble]

Hello,
the battery of my Solakon One is constantly toggling between charging/discharging state under the following conditions:

(battery_current_soc == battery_min_soc) && (pv_current_power < 800) && (pv_current_power < shelly_current_power)

pv_current_power is the currenty power of the solarpanels
shelly_current_power is the current overall power consumption of my house.

I see no reason why the battery should be used in this case at all. Is this behaviour expected?
From my point of view, it's quite inefficient and I'm afraid that the battery loses lifetime unneccessarily.
I've tried out all of the different "export" modes of solakon_one_remote_control_mode and they all showed the same behaviour. Also when I'm completely turning off the remote control mode.

With my heatpump, I'm very often for hours in this state. Here's an example:

Are you already aware of this issue? Or is my device somehow broken?
Thanks in advance for supporting!

Hello,
This is normal behavior for Avocado battery storage devices, so there is no defect.
There are many reports from users that this behavior is considered disturbing and ineffective.

As I understand it, the following happens:
In principle, the battery charge level has priority. If the minimum SoC value is not reached yet, the PV power is used primarily to charge the battery.
Once the minimum SoC value is reached, the storage system switches over and supplies energy, limited only by the current export limit (default 800W). If the current PV output is now lower than the exported output, the battery discharges and is then recharged. This cycle repeats continuously.

You can calm this cycle, for example, by lowering the export limit. To test this, simply reduce the export limit to 200 or 300W in the app.

Another way to change the behavior is to use automation in Home Assistant. There are various blueprints for this.
