# Work Mode

### Reserved Backup Power

> Keep running during a power outage. Ensure that the moment the power goes out, your core devices have reliable power support. Even if the grid fails, life can go on as usual.

With the Reserved Backup Power feature, you can lock in the specified emergency energy for critical devices connected to the Backup port, ensuring that important loads stay online when unexpected events occur.

#### No Power Cut at Critical Moments

* **Set the Bottom Line**: After setting the "Reserved SOC", the system will strictly maintain the energy floor during daily operation and will no longer discharge outward.
* **Automatic Recharging**: Once the energy drops below the reserved value, the system will immediately start recharging. No manual intervention is needed, and emergency power is always ready.
* **Recharge on Demand**: The recharge power will strictly follow your configuration. While recharging quickly, it also balances household power safety and efficiency.

Fully automatic protection: from monitoring battery level to automatic recharging, the system takes care of everything for you, so you do not need to keep watching it all the time.

### Custom Mode

> This is an intelligent scheduling tool designed for precise energy control. Whether you want to use time-of-use electricity pricing to shift load from peak to off-peak periods, or customize storage strategies based on your daily routine, Custom Mode lets the system automatically execute precise charge and discharge commands at preset times.

#### **How Custom Mode Works**

* **Schedule Strategically**: You can preset the system's charging and discharging behavior in different time periods according to electricity price fluctuations or your power usage habits.
* **Fully Automatic Execution**: Once configured, the system will run strictly according to the schedule, without the need for daily manual adjustments, ensuring the strategy is carried out stably over the long term.
* **Safe Operation**: Custom strategies are perfectly integrated with the system's original safety protection logic, improving flexibility while safeguarding power security.

#### Why Do I Need It

* **Optimize Electricity Costs**: Automatically charge during low-price periods and discharge during high-price periods, so every kilowatt-hour delivers maximum economic value.
* **Eliminate Human Error**: Rely on preset logic to run automatically, avoiding extra electricity costs caused by forgotten operations or misjudgments.
* **Minimal Maintenance Experience**: Set it once and let it keep working. Hand over complex power planning to the system and enjoy a worry-free, energy-smart life.
