-  - Do not change the dynamic cut-off values, they have already been set correctly after selecting the lithium battery type. +  - The dynamic cut-off values will effect the depth of discharge you will cycle the battery. The default settings are very safe and conservative, but not optimised for full consumption of battery potential. If you wish to cycle the battery deeper, a flat dynamic cutoff value of 46V allows this system to discharge to the CCGX set SOC limit of 15%, and then a further self-discharge down to ~11% each night. This results in a reported voltage floor of 49.2V by the LG before charging resumes again.
