Page 66
Inverter / Whole Home AC-COUPLED ONLY For how to best operate your solar system in off-grid applications, consult with your solar system vendor. Backup Frequency Shift When the battery SOC is high and the charging power is limited, the AC-coupled PowerPod's will increase the output frequency, causing the PV inverter to reduce the output power, until the battery enters a low- power discharge state.
In case of systems not connected to the batteries, DO NOT use the backup function. The PowerPod 2 warranty will not cover, and Electriq Power will not be liable for, any consequences arising from the use of the backup function on these systems.
