Brian:
Indeed LBX can have the unintended consequence of charging during peak hours if the loads draw the batteries down during that time. This can be avoided if you can control the loads so all or most do not operate during peak hours. William PS: The obvious logic is that if you can control the loads to operate minimally or not at all during peak hours, you don't need inverters and batteries anyway.

And based on the manual, Energy Management Mode seems like it fits the bill, but it doesn't seem to be going back into stand-alone/inverter mode when the timer is supossed to turn off.

Unfortunately, the timers do not affect LBX, so charging may occur during the peak rate....or it may not :C) Rgds, _____
