IOG- Stop export during charge period

[howlintj1]

Hi Just setting up predbat for Intelligent octopus go.
Predbat is emptying my house battery before the slot at 23:30. It's charging it up to 02:00. Then doing a mix of export and then charging until the end of slot at 05:00.

Plan here-

I'd like to get prebat to only charge during this session. Reason being for battery life I'd prefer to only do one complete cycle daily.

I've watched a video on this and believe the setting I need to change is combine charge slots. I've turned this off. See below.

However- it didn't change the setting. Any idea in simple terms I want predbat to empty the battery by 22:29:59 and have it fall by 05:00.

You want combine charge slots on, and also turn off switch.predbat_calculate_discharge_oncharge

The latter is accidentally missing from the documentation (so I need to add it) but is I think what you need to prevent discharging in a charge slot

you could also set low power charge mode to spread the charge over the charging period rather than cramming it in at max charge rate at the beginning

Worked perfectly when set up! Thanks. Project is brill.
