Description

once a month I have to intervene in the dynamic-ess, to make sure the battery is charged to 100% for a few hours. I do this to allow the batteries to balance and to reset the 100% SOC. Could dynamic-ess take this maintenance into account?

Suggested Solution

Allow to set 1 value: for how many hours per month should the battery stay at 100%. It is up to the algorithm to find the optimal window(s) to do so.

Alternatives

Put in a weekly charge schedule with a sufficient long time to charge to 100%. But this is sub-optimal. Or write some rule in node-red to insert such a schedule once every few weeks when weekly is too often.
