Finally got my octopus outgoing live on Sunday, so, for the first time I charged up my batteries last night, to get 100% so I can export everything from sun-up .. however, just noticed that even though I have enough solar to cover my house load and export ... it shows that I am discharging the battery (admittedly only by a very small amount) .. wonder why this could be

System is 14 x Aiko panels, 6kw H1-G2 and 10.36kw EP11 batteries

LFP batteries once fully charge must bleed slowly or it causes damage. The few watts you’re seeing is this combined with the fact the BMS is powered from the battery only. All normal and expected
