Typical plug-in battery mistakes (and how to avoid them)
Because plug-in batteries look so simple, the same mistakes are made over and over. Leafy Energy helps you avoid these traps.
Mistake 1: Overloaded power strips
- Too many heavy loads plugged into one strip along with the battery.
- Fix: use a separate, grounded wall outlet.
Mistake 2: Poor Wi-Fi coverage at the battery location
- The battery connects initially, but drops offline repeatedly.
- Fix: move the battery or add an access point.
Mistake 3: Incorrect timezone or region settings
- Charge and discharge schedules do not line up with dynamic prices.
- Fix: verify the timezone on both the battery and Leafy Energy.
Mistake 4: No distinction between critical and non-critical loads
- Everything runs on the battery, including devices that must not fail.
- Fix: explicitly mark critical loads in Leafy Energy and prioritise them.
