Previously when setting force charge to say 30%, battery would charge to 30% from grid, but battery would continue to charge beyond 30% from any excess solar (Self use)
The % you set in Force-charge now seems to be setting max-SoC, rather than a FCSOC so any surplus solar is now exported (Feed-in priority)
I'm struggling to fathom under what circumstances that behaviour is desirable. Is this another bug in the update?
Its similar to the other weird behaviour with force discharge acting as a min-SOC rather than a FDSOC.
H1-G2 1.51 / 1.04 / 1.69
EP5 1.011
In attached image FCSoC is 11%
Fox have been made aware of this and i’m hopeful that the behaviour will be changed back or add an option to use it the way most people want to

Thanks for replying.
So to confirm, are you saying fox are aware of both the force charge and force discharge behavior being "undesirable", but not (yet) any commitment from them to fix (revert to old behaviour)??
I can only go from what I know, and that is they have been collecting feedback about the issues with the new app scheduler, I don't know when they will respond but I hope it's soon, you can still set the desired effect if you use the website or Energy Stats.stevo125 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 12:19 pmHi Dave.Dave Foster wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 12:14 pm Fox have been made aware of this and i’m hopeful that the behaviour will be changed back or add an option to use it the way most people want to

Can you advise on how to go about that please.
I tried with cloud v1 and energy stats and couldn't figure out a way to get it working the way I wanted. I thought maybe the (bat) scheduler entries might have been the key, but no dice.

On Energy Stats if you go to Settings, and choose Inverter near the top - you can manage schedules, a schedule there looks very much the same as you will be familiar with where you can set minsoc, maxsoc, FCsoc, FCPwr but when you set them here they don’t get overridden by the default 10% and 100%.
It’s better to set FCSoC and maxSoc the same value (say 30%), the maxSoC here is the ‘grid maximum soc’ it will stop the grid charge here but continue to charge past with solar.
Likewise if you set a schedule in the Fox V2 app and then go to the V2 website https://www.foxesscloud.com/v2/login, click on the purple box ‘Quick Settings’ top right corner you’ll be able to go into Mode Scheduler and overwrite the incorrect settings the app has made (i.e. you’ll see that minSoC will be 10%, and maxsoc and FCsoc will be 100% - change them to your desired value and ‘confirm’). Don’t edit them in the app or they will be overwritten again.

I'm not following how this helps. What am I missing?
In the force charge case, I set in the app:
FCSoC =30
And web then shows
FCSoC =30
MaxSOC=100
Expected behavior is grid charge to 30%, then any excess solar would be sent to the battery up to 100%. But instead as soon as 30% is reached, solar is exported. To me its behaving as if its setting FCSOC and maxSoC to the same value (30) but that doesn't seem to be the case.
