This product is compatible with multiple battery models. Please refer to the latest OverDischg SOC： 020%
compatible battery list on Solis company website.
WARNING:
Inverter must be installed with compatible battery models. Any defect,
damage or collateral loss due to using a non-compatible battery is not
in the scope of inverter warranty or compensation.

information on latest compatible battery models. ESC UP DOWN ENT
For above compatible battery modules, Only three parameters need to be defined: Figure 6.34 Over Discharge SOC.
* OverDischg SOC (10%~40%, default 20%)
--Inverter will not discharge the battery when the OverDischg SOC is reached.
Battery self-discharge is unavoidable,SOC may go lower than the limit if the battery
can't get charged for a long period of time.
* ForceCharge SOC (5%~OverDischg SOC, default 10%)
--To prevent the battery going into sleep mode, when the ForceCharge SOC is reached,
inverter will charge the battery using the power from either PV or Grid.
* ForceChg Limit (0A~100A, default 100A)
--Determine the battery charge current limit when inverter operates in force charge status.
