still not understanding SmartLoad circuits and WorkMode

[dtbaker61]

I have an AIO that has been up and running for 6 months or so, power available from Grid AC-in, and SmartLoad-2=AC coupled power coming from a Legacy PV system.

My challenge is that I am using SmartLoad-1 (60a) as an EV charger....
and since my utility is a flat-rate with no peak/off-peak, I have Work Mode = sell back priority
and the goal is to maintain batteries at 90% at all times while grid is available.

So far I have been unable to figure out the correct combination of settings for start/stop of battery charging and smart load to accomplish the desired behaviors.

I'd appreciate details from anyone who has input and experience with settings that will result in:
- batteries held at 90%-100% when grid is up
- Smart-load-1 available as long as grid is up, and
   available if grid is "down" only while battery >75% SOC

since no Users have answered yet.... How about a little guidance @Logan ? can you explain what settings are required to obtain the desired behavior to maximize sellback from AC-coupled input on SL-2, activate SL-1 as long as batteries are >20%, and hold batteries at 90% when grid AC-in is available.

SmartLoad-1 is still not working as desired.

I have tried all kinds of combinations or settings, and still cannot find a what to energize the SL-1 for EV charging "all the time" when the Grid is up, and limit discharge if Grid is down. I have:

power control> work mode = grid feed in priority
battery> Capacity Mode = SOC%
         Charge To (%) = 100%
         Discharge End SOC (on-grid) (%) = 90

smart load > SL-1=smart load,  stop= 75% , start at 95% ... this *should* re-enable after a grid outage when batteries are recovering and on their way back to full, or re-enable if grid is down during the day and batteries are almost full.

...for some reason, SL-1 does not remain enabled while on grid as it should since SOC remains above 75% when on grid

using smartload1 for ev chargers STILL does not work as advertised.... I have been unable to find any combination of settings that energize the circuit all the time when Grid is available, but is smart to turn it off if the grid goes out and stop charging if in progress to avoid emptying the battery into the EV.

I have two AIOs install with smartload1 configured as smart loads, and neither are working right. Neither are "on" when grid is up, and I cannot find a way to get them to turn on and stay on.

getting really frustrating, and embarassing as an installer that recommended the MNS-AIO
