Thank you but hope anyone can help...i have a setting of "DOD with grid %" and "DOD without grid %" ....i am using my Imeon inverter as backup for now, so when the grid goes down i want my Ritar RA12-100 batteries to discharge about 40 - 50 %, .... not sure what to set the DOD with grid % and the DOD without grid %... any advice please?
Hi Karim, Depth of Discharge (DOD) means to what extent you can withdraw current from the battery. Assuming a battery capacity of 10 kWh with a DOD of 80%. It means you can withdraw 8 kWh (80% of 10 kWh) energy from the battery without affecting its useful life. You can always withdraw 100% of energy from the battery. But it affects its duty cycle and useful life. So a battery with 80% DOD, means using 80% of its energy and keep 20% in the battery itself. I hope I made my point. Thank you for watching the video.

Very good sir informative video

if I set my Solar Battery DOD to 20%
what does this mean?
20% DOD means - 20 % usable and 80% charged
or 80 % usable and 20% charged
Hi Karim,

You can always withdraw 100% of energy from the battery.
But it affects its duty cycle and useful life.

I hope I made my point.
