I had the Stormwatch featured activated, for the first time in Southern CA because of the high winds I assume.
It immediately drew power from both Solar and Grid to charge the PW to maximum capacity. I did however notice that the system seemed to continue to charge even after it showed 100% for a much longer time than usual. I switched off Stormwatch this afternoon around 1:30pm and the PW's started discharging. However the PW's seemed to discharge for almost 2-hours despite a 1.5kw+ continuous draw before the % dropped below 100%.
Has anyone else seen this behavior with Stormwatch? I am thinking that the PW rating of 100% in the App isn't actually 100% of the rated capacity of the PW units. Maybe it is actually 90% of capacity to help prolong the life of the battery. However if Stormwatch activates then the full capacity of PW unit is activated which basically charged the unit above the 100% bar displayed on the app.
