FR - GivEnergy battery maintenance mode to better assist with SOC recalculations #1578

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. GivEnergy batteries are known for the occasional SOC issue if batteries do not frequently get below 50% and stay idle for 30 minutes or longer under than threshold, I'd like to have an option toggle on/off that will force Predbat to on a weekly basis dump the entire battery just before a charge slot.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to have an option toggle on/off that will force Predbat to on a weekly basis dump the entire battery just before a charge slot.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Manually execute my above idea which is someitmes hard to remember with a growing family :).

Additional context None

You could achieve what you are asking for by an automation calling the select.predbat_manual controls - setting a series of forced discharges and then a forced idle.

Would need a bit of logic to determine when to kick off the series of forced discharges depending on the SoC level, but this would then be entirely under your control rather than another switch and control to maintain in the core predbat product.

Happy to share your automation in the predbat documentation once done

A lot of that is beyond my technical level 😩.
